Successful timeout anybody? Video uploading as we speak.

Doesn't prequel mean "a later iteration that takes place before one that came before it?" >_>
So like OMG I can't beat EoSD normal. D:

I have prequel listed down here as being something along the lines of:
An event that occurred before the "present" time
New thread means new "timeline"! Point still stands.

Why do these threads move so fast

It's been a while since I last posted here. But I've got quite a handful of spell card during that time :3
- Starbow Break
- Catadioptric
- Hell's Tokamak (screw horizontal movements, you move INTO the waves)
- Jeweled Pagoda Lunatic, again
- Devil's Recitation, twice (that's 3/40 already). This is seriously easier than Bad Omen (0/40) >_>
- Superhuman "Byakuren Hijiri" (TWICE, AT ONE POWER !)
Oh and ... I saw Q.E.D's timeout phase :V
It's raep.

Finally 1cc'd PCB Normal without having to spam Sakuya's bombs.

I did a lot better than normal on Stage 4, worse on stage 5, and better on Yuykuko. I had never captured Reflowering before, though I've gotten close, so going into it 0/0 wasn't a good thing. Well I died to it, but I didn't realize I had gotten the next life until I noticed I wasn't dead yet. Actually got the Karmic Punishment safespot right this time too.
Edit: And predictably, I can't use her correctly in Extra. I'm sure it's something I'll get used to.

SA Normal 1cc! I've been playing Touhou for less than two weeks, and I managed this (it was close though, as you can see from the Stage 6 portion). First try of the day too. I might try the Extra Stage soon, if only for a change of pace (passing it is probably way out of my league at this point).

My list is short, but here's what I've pulled off so far:
SA (ReimuA)
- Easy: 1cc (no bombs); all stages perfected (i.e. no deaths, bombs, or teleporting)
- Normal: 1cc; Stages 1, 2, 3 perfected
-
I successfully managed to dodge Fantasy Heaven (UNL) as Patchouli. :V
-
Okay... Makai Butterfly Lunatic captured. Only two cards left before i got all her spells at Lunatic difficulty captured.
Superhuman and LFO remaining. Apparently i'm supposed to go to the left corner of the screen. Problem is that if i do that i can't see a darn thing.
LFO is reasonable enough until the red waves. Then it becomes merciless. But i think i can do it. Just not right now because i can feel intense frustration building up right now. Mainly because of the power system. Its really annoying when you are going for captures.

Regarding 12.3, if we do it, don?t expect it soon. There?s a possibility of a lesser mod for it, eg Weather names only, but a full translation is definitely a ways off. SWR was a ridiculous amount of work to make a translation mod for, and not just because of the dialogue. It?s been a pretty draining experience and I think a lot of us want to work on other things for awhile.
People will definitely be getting on UFO though.
Don't hold your breath.
Anyway, since everyone else is doing it~
HRtP:Hell no. I do really like this game, but I almost never actually play it, much less manage to 1cc. And Sariel's theme is <3
SoEW:Hard 1cc with ReimuC(Slowest). Surprisingly, it was the first time I tried hard. Extra Mode is bullshit, I died on the final phase with all bombs left.
PoDD:Normal 1cc, GOD DAMMIT YUMEMI LET ME 1CC HARD WHY WON'T YOU DIE
LLS:Lunatic 1cc ReimuB, yeaaah. Normal/Hard and Extra beaten all shot types
MS:Hard 1cc on first try with Marisa, god those first 3 stages are easy. I still suck at EX-Alice though, can't get anywhere on her.
EoSD:Hard and Extra 1cc ReimuB, Normal 1cced all shot types
PCB:Hard 1cc with 4 lives left both Reimu types(And yes its default lives, borders are just awesome), Extra/Normal 1cc all types, Phantasm cleared
IN:Hard 1cc all teams(Reimu is the only solo though), Extra cleared. Got to Hourai Jewel on Lunatic, blaaaaah
PoFV:Lunatic Aya 1cc, Easy/Normal/Hard 1cc all characters (what), Extra cleared on three characters.
StB:About 60~ scenes cleared(Not really trying to get the others)
MoF:Hard 1cc ReimuA/B, Easy/Normal/Extra 1cc all shot types
SA:Easy/Normal 1cc all shot types, Extra cleared ReimuA, 2cced Hard ReimuA bleh
UFO:Easy/Normal/Extra clear all shot types, Hard million-cced. More bleh.
Oh, and then the fighters are
IaMP:Normal 1cc Alice and Patchy,
SWR:Lunatic 1cc Reimu,
UNL:Hard 1cc Cirno, Easy/Normal on all. Lunatic Arcade Reisen 1cc because the AI is loleasy.

Wrong thread :V
I just survived the LLS Stage 5 Pre-Boss waves without dying. Unfortunately, the rank was lower
.
-
I'm so glad rank disappeared after PCB. Many attacks it's frustrating enough just to get to them on max rank (KILLING DOLL).
And I guess if the translation team is going to take it easy on UNL I may as well go into the game and test out Meiling's cards later tonight.

Welp.

Video in a bit Final Phase only ofc
. Going to learn a bit more of it for the sake of using Reimu at a later date, and I will not be attempting to time this out.
EDIT: ...it's a 14 second video.
-
:O
Can't wait. Also as long as you have a savestate there just try and time it out to make sure it doesn't have a supa sexy timeout phase.
-
The reason why I said that I'm not going to time it out is because it lasts much longer than you would initially think. Around 40 seconds. And no, no super special awesome Timeout Phase :(
EDIT: Wow, that (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRM0FSR20t4) processed faster than the other video.

Rumor has it that people don't unconditionally love UNL; I call shenanigans. I'm all set to tackle UNL. This is going to be fun~
-
Now a proper accomplishment to go with the above post. >_>
UNL hard 1cc! This was after only three tries, and the first one to get past Patchouli (who is ironically the hardest opponent until Reimu's third spell card). I got very nervous when TEH CATFISH started whaling on me constantly and the time was wearing thin, but the power of the ultimate gatekeeper (well, besides Sara) saved the world by a margin of 13 seconds!
It's...odd. I have no idea how long it will take for me to 1cc UNL lunatic, but I have the feeling that it won't be enough to satisfy me. The three scenarios are so different (even the similar opponents Sanae and Cirno face are dealt with in completely different ways) I feel like I have to at least try them all. The hardest part will be staring at Sanae's emo face long enough to learn how to use her.
-
PCB Easy 1cc No focus ReimuA 2nd try (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6043)...
Was a bit too much confident on youmu and epicly epic failed, finished 0/0...
2nd try and 2nd try doing something no-focus

My list:

- LLS Hard 1cc with ReimuA and Extra clear with MarisaA.
- MS Hard 1cc with ReimuA and Extra clear with Mima.
- EoSD Hard 1cc with ReimuA and Extra with all but ReimuA.

- IN Lunatic 1cc and Extra clear with all teams but Netherworld + Alice Solo.
- PoFV Hard 1cc with Aya.
- MoF Lunatic 1cc with ReimuB and Extra with ReimuA and B + MarisaB.
- SA Hard 1cc with ReimuA and C and Extra with ReimuA.
- UFO Hard 1cc with SanaeB and Extra clear with all shots.
Haven't played fighters much so i've only done those on easy. Also cleared up to 7.5 in StB.
-
So out of morbid curiosity, I tried a no-vertical run of SA Extra.
Got to Ancestors Beside Your Bed on my first try, Youkai Polygraph on my second, and Philosophy of a Hated Person on my third.
Why is this so much easier than a normal run.

oh well
MS/LLS extra clear
EoSD hard 1cc, extra clear
PCB hard 1cc, extra/phantasm clear

SA hard 1cc, extra clear
UFO hard 1cc, extra clear no deaths(ReimuA)

...That was bizzare. I tried UFO Lunatic again and did pretty terribly on the first three stages, and entered Stage 4 with two spare lives. Did very well with life collecting and went into Murasa with five spare lives, and failed that very badly and came out back to two lives in stock, again. Obviously, I was pretty confident I would game over Stage 5, but I somehow managed to not do anything really stupid for once and got to Shou with two lives in stock.
During this battle I captured Vajira of Perfect Buddhism.
WHAT
I mean... I failed Pendulum Guard, Kogasa's last two cards, all four of Ichirin's cards, and every Murasa attack besides her first spellcard... but I capture Vajira of all things? Until five minutes ago or so I was confident that was the hardest card in the entire game.
Of course, then I game over'd on Magic Butterfly. Getting to Hiziri despite the magnificent fail displayed everywhere else in the run is encouraging, though. A 1cc might not take too much longer if I can stop playing like a retard during the first four stages. :V
-
SWR easy 1cc. :V
I still don't get the card system. Do some of these cards "upgrade" your moves? And do you get to keep it into next stages, or does it go down?
-

Yep. There are also cards for things like recovering HP, guard reversals, and even drawing more cards instantly.
There are also skillcards that completely replace attacks with new ones.

Yes. And yes again, it carries over stages.

You don't play very many fighting games then. :V
The main problem with 421s when you're starting out is the habit to input 4121. Make sure you aren't accidentally inputting a diagonal when going from 4 (or 6) to 2.
-
Hit 4, hold down 2, hold down 4, hit B/C. Bingo! I couldn't do those moves near consistently until I tried it like that~
Anyway, I finally got my first SA Hard 1cc! Now, here is the most awesome part...
I won with 8 extra lives

I just legitimately survived Mugetu's first Timeout Phase without dying or bombing. No, seriously.
/me begins working on the second Timeout Phase
Then afterwards, I get to deal with the more interesting ones.
EDIT: This should be proof enough that I survived.

-
I told you before that you must use your power of savestates to make videos of all the timeout phases (surviving or no). You know you have no choice.
-
I want to survive as many of them (read: all but the last one) without dying or bombing.
Is that not good enough for you? ;_;

Tap towards/away from the enemy. Hit down, hold it down, then hit the previous button again and hold it to create the diagonal.
Takes some practice though, I admit.

I just pulled off a one-death, no-bombs run of SA Stage 6 on Normal.
May not seem like much to the common person here, but I was really not expecting to have improved as much as I did on this stage so quickly - my previous record was a three-death, no-bombs run made two days ago (I only played UNL in the limited free time I had yesterday, no SA at all). Today I managed to pull of consecutive captures of "Hell and Heaven Meltdown" AND "Hell's Artificial Sun", and my only death was on "Mega Flare", when I misjudged a blue bullet coming out of a sun. My control is definitely getting better. I could very well perfect this stage if I spent some more time to practice (namely, over Thanksgiving break).
-
Nice. I've pulled perfect Murasa fight. Have to practice more of Phar's method doing the survival card.
-
What the awesome you can still end Stage 1 UFO with 2 extra lives and 2 red UFOs on Hard. This is going to make a 1cc much easier.

I just perfected the Story of Eastern Wind's Yukkuri stage again.
However, this time on camera! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uttcv5pwQeg)
I'm working on the other extra stage, but that will take a bit longer because that one is a LOT more difficult.
-
Sweet! PCB Extra clear!
"Contract" is a really cool card.
-
2 Bomb Clear of Mugetu's 2nd Timeout Phase. I managed to survive without a bomb for a "long" time by constantly moving in 1 direction and back in time for it to end.
Now I get to timeout the really fun ones.
EDIT: Pictar.
EDIT 2: Just enough points for the last Extend! if I ever need it. Awesome.
-
I just made a realization in UNL: Enemies take more damage to their spell gauge if you hit them while they are attacking. I made it to Reimu's second spell card again (FYI Reimu's the penultimate boss in Meiling's scenario). Now I really need to learn Alice's first spell card so I can preserve a life. :(
-
2 words:
Phantasm cleared!
-
So I discovered it's much better to use homing Reimu if you haven't memorized the stages yet, and then when you have, switch to the high damage focus type characters, derp. Anyway I've been playing alot of shooters other than Touhou for some time and my Touhou skills were really low, so I decided to 1cc MoF hard for my first time (never really even attempted this). I was getting owned again and again, then I swapped to reimuA, 1shot. Kanako was quite a bish unfortunately though, but oh well.

Gengetu's first Timeout Phase done with 1 Death, No Bombs. Slow moving snowballs + fast rings of blue bullets made me go D:

Some minor accomplishments (all on lunatic):
Timeout of Brilliant Dragon Bullet. More importantly, I can now consistently avoid death on the card for around 15 seconds.
I figured out how to trivialize Orin's opener on stage 4.
Timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6096) of Boundary of Wave and Particle.

UFO Normal 1cc!
Checklist:
EOSD: Hard 1cc, extra beaten
PCB: Hard 1cc, extra beaten
IN: Hard 1cc, extra beaten
MoF: Normal 1cc, extra beaten
SA: Normal 1cc
UFO: Normal 1cc
SA extra next I suppose, since the consense seems that it's really easy.
-
Captured Emerald Megalith L.
Rank was pretty low but I don't really care.
-
My words exactly Arcengal.
-----------
Well... i captured Superhuman Byakuren Hiziri and Legendary Flying Saucer at Lunatic just now. The final one isn't really a bad card at all. I guess its fair enough at least by Final Spell standards. Those really suck a lot i think. Aside from VoWG.
-
This might sound really odd, but I can parse about half the waves of "GRT". Also, I'm nearly done.
Need to find an appropriate BGM to use once I find out the length of my video too

Just beat SA extra 1 death 1 bomb. It was a perfect run until Philosophy, where I died (like always) on the last 10 seconds. I swear I just cannot deal with that part of the card. Then I had a brain fart and had to death bomb on Subterranean Rose's third phase. Amazing how easy this stage gets once you've beaten it no deaths...
-
At least you didn't die because Koishi spawned on top of you right after you captured Philosophy. That's what happens to me ALL THE TIME.
-
You know O-Life is the only proper answer
.
Possibly. Though, I might use some of my other BGM tracks just because
.
Anyway, here's a screencap of the results.

EDIT: Dammit, what does that single character of Kanji mean? I'm fairly certain the other word is "Shooter".
...and the video comes in to be at 2:51:400.
I'll leave the state there in case I want to do a 2LC (read: 1 Death 4 Bombs; with an additional death before it to lower rank) at a later date.
-
Perhaps the other kanji means "type" or something? Are you using ReimuA?
-
I did use ReimuA. I'm not too sure about it meaning "type" because that wouldn't really make too much sense. I'll nag Trance about it tonight.
Also, I cut down from 6 to 5 bombs now; managed to actually get some decent dodging in during "GRT" by means of RNG abuse. So now I'll have a slightly better video to use.
-
EDIT: Dammit, what does that single character of Kanji mean? I'm fairly certain the other word is "Shooter".
If you mean in the bottom line, I believe it says "A-class/A-rank shooter". Basically, that you are awesome. =P
-
Yupyup.
MoF Stage 5 Lunatic clear with 1 death.
-
Just beat the first 3 stages of UNL lunatic without dying for the first time. Now if I can just make this consistent...
-
I beat EoSD normal! Yay!
T_T I'm good too... really... I'm sure I'll surprise you all any day now...
-
Tch! Well...I guess that technically was a victory...
UNL lunatic 1cc...I suppose. I died almost as soon as Taisui's last spell card began, but according to the game just like the other two scenarios losing still counts as a 1cc.
YAY, I HAVE BEATEN ALL 16 TOUHOU GAMES ON LUNATIC...is what I'd love to say. But come on, that's some hollow victory! Without landing the decisive blow to defeat the final spell card I can't feel as though I won; it'd be like if I failed Kaguya's last spell rush and didn't get to experience her slow-mo explosion: An unearned victory. I'm not going to quit just yet! If I can learn Reimu's third spell card I'm certain I can reach the last spell card with enough resources to stand a ghost of a chance.
-

Ah, thanks for that.
ghost of a chance.

Stage 4 UFO, No Vertical up to a certain point. Nearly perfected the stage (dammit). Almost got "Sinking Vortex". Ceased No Vert at last non-spell, making it through with a 2 death timeout (it looks easier now for unknown reasons). Then I tried a minimalistic screen usage strategy for "DCC", which ended in 1 death due to running into a bullet while squeezing through bullets.

I captured Bad Omen.

This picture is the cultivation of just under 2 years of hard work and dedication to the Touhou series. I feel nothing can represent the struggle it's taken to become what I'm pretty sure is the first Western player to have 1cc'd all 16 Touhou games on lunatic (EVEN IF AYA IS CHEAP BAITY) than Hong Meiling kicking a catfish in the nose.

(EVEN IF AYA IS CHEAP BAITY)
Aya / Medicine is essentially as cheap as MoF!MarisaB. Just saying.
Eh, I'm not going to debate it any further than that. Have an AAAGGHGHGAG- I mean a :toot: while I go put my video together.
You ever thought about giving competitive play? It's worth a try at least.
By the way, Taisui's(sp?) last SC is essentially something along the lines of a Last Spell in my opinion.

Huge congrats! Now you can finally get onto your EoSD Extra no deaths special challenges, since I can't see much else you have left to do that isn't EoSD Extra no deaths. Of course, you could also try EoSD Extra no deaths playing for score; you never know, you might enjoy it once you get the hang of it somewhat like EoSD Extra.
Of course, if the worst comes to the worst, there's always EoSD Extra no deaths. :V
/me runs far, far away
In all seriousness, though, that's really impressive. Congrats again. :3

Did you do Periphery of Power on lunatic?

HOLY-- ...
UFO Stage 6 Lunatic, FOUR deaths. I even survived Byaku's final non-spell without bombs !
*dances*
-
Okay, first off. Huge congratulations for the Donut. That is a very nice accomplishment you have there. One most of us probably never will achieve.
Second, i just finished adding annotations to my vid of a Perfect Orin battle on Hard mode. Not that difficult for me anymore but interested can watch it here.

You might learn something if have trouble with her!
-
9:30: Pick up IN from the post office.
12:30: Clear Final B on easy.
12:45: Get face handed to me by extra-stage Keine. :p (Amazingly, I can actually handle the stage up to that point ...)
-
SWR 1cc Normal with Reimu, second attempt, didn't really expect to finish....
Lost my first life on Iku, entered Tenshi's final with a life and a tenth or something.
Almost lost an entire life on the second phase....but then I've magically turned it around and finished her off without a single hit.
Do I really need skills like Ascension Kick? They seem almost....useless. I've pretty much only spammed projectiles.
-
Wow, I have been out for ages. That also mean no th for me for many days =(
check list:
EoSD Hard 1cc
PCB Hard 1cc
IN Hard 1cc
MoF Hard 1cc
SA Normal 1cc
UFO Normal 1cc
I never even touched an extra stage, and probably won't before I 1cc both SA and UFO Hard :V
-
If you've 1cc'd multiple Hards, you're more than capable of taking on any of the Extra Stages :V
-

I prefer focusing on full runs for now.
I know the jump from hard to lunatic is even bigger than from normal to hard, so i'll have enough time being frustrated and will probably do all the Extras at once... or something :V

It's been a long time, but I didn't remember liking CtC much even ignoring the unbearable slowdown unless I stripped it down to the minimum settings (as in no background). In any case, I don't have it anymore.

Oh man oh man OH MAN
I'm shaking from the excitement
It turns out all I needed was to get there with enough resources, you can get 2-3 lives from grazing in Gengetu's 2nd and 3rd phases (Or it was 3rd and 4th? I dunno).

I don't remember how I've beat Gengetu myself.....I still die on the stage quite a lot and most of my runs end on Mugetu.

PCB LUNATIC 1CC!! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6117)
You have to watch the end of S5, Ageless Obsession (I hit the spot on the third wave by accident, not noticing my border had ended, and was so surprised that I died), LOST SOUL'S VILLAGE (died with FIVE BOMBS IN STOCK TO LOST SOUL'S VILLAGE) and Mortality. And I was predicting the rest of Yuyuko's fight "I'm going to be ONE BOMB SHORT", and sure enough, last wave of Resurrection Butterfly, no lives, no bombs, no border...and I finally make the dodge.
Haaa......
...awesome. That's four!
-
Congrats, theshim. Which ones have you got left?
Also, Buddhist Diamond Lunatic timeout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQPSYLOWs4E). :V
-
The biggest accomplishment I've gotten is getting to Flandre, that's about it. Well, there's also 1ccing Imperishable Night on Normal, and SA and UFO on Easy.
I could try and get PCB on normal...
-
Sorry but i can't resist. Get it again.
I don't know where. :V I don't suppose it suddenly became free?
-
Congrats, theshim. Which ones have you got left?
Err...tHRtP (on ANY difficulty), SoEW (don't expect it any time soon...), PoDD (though I should probably do Hard first), EoSD, IN, PoFV (really damn close), SA (see PoDD), UFO (NO; also, see PoDD), and the fighters (see PoDD).
PoFV is probably the next one, though I'll again probably finish SA Hard first.
Also, Buddhist Diamond Lunatic timeout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQPSYLOWs4E). :V
You are a ridiculous little man. :V

Ooh! Here's my list:

I would say this is because of my brilliant ability to focus, but it has more to do with my cheapness when it comes to buying Touhou games :V

Blazing Star No Focus, No Vertical, Youmu Solo. The part where I die, which is 3 seconds before the card ends, is where I get walled by a red star. =V I'm not even sure if there's a way to actually do this, except for maybe to either get Marisa to miss me(I doubt it), or cross the red star BEFORE it blocks my way(Not sure if that's possible either).
Oh, and Blazing Star is micromemorizable, although I'm pretty sure people knew that already.
-
64 get (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6126)!
While I'm at it, I might as well put this (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6128) up.

Holy crap.
Did a st5 PCB lunatic run for the lulz, captured her midboss card, Hell God Sword, Asura Sword and Components of Konpaku. Out of these, I've only captured Asura Sword once before.
EDIT: Tried st6, captured Butterfly Delusion and Repository of Hirokawa.
Almost got her non survival final, died at the last 1/10.
EDIT2: Pseudo Stradivarius is supposed to be the easiest one of the 3 cards....right? :V

HRtP lunatic 1cc Makai route! ;D
Went from having to use 20 continuous on normal to 1cc'ing lunatic in the span of 20 playthroughs. :V
Off course this went pretty fast after figuring out the "scoring method" and me just completely skipping normal and hard. :V
Also damn, this game is fun. Once you master the physics of the ying-yang orb, the game becomes a lot more enjoyable. Play it people!
Now to 1cc the other route~
Which I believe is harder?
-
Nope, Makai is much harder than Jigoku. It's pretty hard if you don't scorewhore though (which is like saying LLS is hard if you avoid all the 1ups that fall at you).
As for me, I forgot to mention that I think I've FINALLY figured out BoWaP. My strategy: Do not move unless necessary. Many of my deaths are from dodging into bullets I don't see, so by doing this my capture rate shot straight up. So this loathed attack has gone from hair-pullingly difficult to boring and a waste of space. :V
-
Storm Day timeout.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Izbw2ieBSbk
Yes, a tough spellcard. I get lucky on one of the dodges though the rest aren't too odd. Check it out will ya?
Also. Pulled off Scarlet Weather Rhapsody Normal 1cc. Died only once. That's pretty good for me due to how i suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck at fighting games.
-
I randomly decided to play SA Hard and see how well I could do.
Ended with max lives in stock. WHAT. Could have done it no-deaths too if I didn't suck at the first 2 seconds of BoWaP.
So why can't I 1cc UFO?!

Third attempt.
Although I had a "what the fuck ZUN" moment on Kikuri's opener because Jesus Christ.
This also means PC98 all lunatic clear! :D
The only lunatics left now are UFO and the fighters.

What. I play both games just as bad. 6th stage for both on hard so far.
Actually I think I might 1cc UFO Hard before SA Hard

So after failing UFO Hard another 3-4 times, I figured I'd try SA Lunatic again, and well...
(http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/3126/th022.jpg)
The highlight of the run had to be capturing "Peta Flare" at 0 power when I had NEVER captured it before at any power level. Oh and then I died to her 3rd non-spell.

Finally...a replay of my Virtue of Wind God Lunatic capture... (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6137)
Video of my Virtue of Wind God capture (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEZ850-7-hE)
Took me a good 172 attempts, and it finally paid off. Spent the past two days VoWG grinding (though I didn't grind as much as the past week and before), and this is the outstanding result.
Although I will admit - I was kinda shaking while pulling off crazy reflexes. Even had to inevitably clip through a stream of four blue bullets, too, but all is well now.
Other than that, in the replay I uploaded, I was kinda messing around in the non-boss part of the stage, since I was practicing attempting to dodge countless bullets without bombing (had to use a bomb eventually). Sure, I haven't 1CC'd MoF on Lunatic, but at least I achieved what I was dying to accomplish. :)
Also, in case anyone is curious about my Stage 6 Lunatic spell card history...well...
(http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c93/lordscalgon/stage6history.jpg)
At least I got way better in Yamato Torus as of now...but feel free to laugh at me over Source of Rains...yeah, I totally fail...I never even captured that card until exactly my 100th attempt in that card. >_>
(and as a side note: I did all this while keeping LtC's promise of playing legit...)

-
Inspired in a way by Ruro, I randomly went in and recorded a cold SoEW lunatic 1cc. It sucked, I died twice on Meira of all people, but I still cleared with a life to spare. :V
Hell, I'm going to go try again because I'm sure if I learn where everyone is I can do much better than this. I also nearly beat Marisa no deaths, but she brought up her suns when she only had a sliver of life left. D:
-
Sauce of Rains is a stupid card. No one cares about it, really.
-
Youtube-quality SoEW lunatic 1cc acquired. o> Some highlights:
Me getting a rare bomb drop in stage 1 and making up for it by missing one of the bombs the Magic Stones drop (though to be fair it was literally impossible to grab it given the situation).
Bombing Meira 3 times because lol Meira.
BEATING THE MOTHERFUCKING MAGIC STONES NO DEATHS ONE BOMB HELL YES.
Perfecting a good portion of Mima, yet still die twice in classic "fuck you" predicaments.
Hm~ Also I'm sorry Ruro. :(
-
BEATING THE MOTHERFUCKING MAGIC STONES NO DEATHS ONE BOMB HELL YES.
Err...if you can't do this consistently, there's something very wrong. I only ever need one bomb unless I screw up lolstreaming.

I also nearly beat Marisa no deaths, but she brought up her suns when she only had a sliver of life left. D:
How can you tell? Is there some kind of secret boss lifebar I don't know about? =V

I can tell by the fact that she died one second after breaking her suns the next time. :P

Also you just made 90% of everyone who's ever played SoEW burst into tears. I hope you're happy.

Oh wow, two Lunatics in one day. 1cc PCB Lunatic using "not SakuyaA", finished at 0/0. I honestly did not go into this with any expectations of finishing, especially since I haven't even touched Practice Mode.
Resurrection Butterfly was pretty much the worst thing ever. I basically spammed enough bombs and borders that I was completely invulnerable nearly the entire time.
Replay and stuff. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6143)

Took me like 5 restarts last night (generally on stage 3 or 4)
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6140
SA Hard 1cc.
-
I wish there was a way to easily manipulate those bomb drops. Then I'd be able to beat Extra.
Normally I don't even get any during the game. Once, I got two either in a row or if not that not far apart. I've only gotten one in Extra once.
Also, is SoEW like the easiest Lunatic? You sure make it look like that.
-
I managed to capture the post-Momizi stuff at Lunatic. Not as hard as i thought it was but still unreliable. I can't do it a 100% of the time and i'd rather bomb than risk dying just to show off.

See Baity? It's not that I can't beat IN lunatic with anyone other than the border team. It's that shit like this happens when I do. First try, cold run, Scarlet team lunatic 1cc, finished 0/1. The run is so damn inconsistent; I fail Invisible Full Moon but capture Tele-mesmerism. Also I fully expect someone to come tell me that I'm using Remilia's bomb wrong.
-
UFO Normal 1cc as ReimuA.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6152
My first 1cc was NOT a fluke ^_^
-
Whoa... I managed to reach Youmu's midboss card on PCB Lunatic O_O How the heck did I do that?
Oh, and I was one point item short of getting the 800 Extend when I game overed with no bombs left, so I would have reached Boss Youmu if I'd gotten just one more point item. Or had never died with bombs in stock =/ I do that more often than not, even with Reimu B's wonderful deathbomb time.
-
1cc UFO Hard (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6158). FINALLY. Why is this harder than SA Lunatic?!
The only reason this run even succeeded is because I somehow perfected the Murasa fight, despite having never captured ANY of her spell cards except Foundering Anchor in practice.
-
I was showing off UFO easy to a friend and thus was explaining stuff and messing around, dying and using bombs on stage one and stuff, but somehow I still managed to pull a 1cc in the end :V

So, I managed to clear EoSD Hard~ That was definitely tougher than PCB <.<

A freaking SA Extra Clear. Sure, it might not have been using Marisa C like I told myself, but it's a start.
No deaths, actually, until Philosophy of a Hated Person.

This morning, I had 4 levels in StB unlocked and was struggling with a few of the scenes in Level 4.
Now I have Level 8 unlocked.
Easily the most progress I've made in a Touhou game within 1 day.

Captured Complete Clarification Lunatic. Funny enough first attempt after i stopped restarting after Radiant Shit Gun. (excuse the immaturity but that card is fucking terrible.)
Now there is only three cards left... wonder if i can do them before i puke...
EDIT:
Thank you so much Baity! Your advice caused me to capture it on my second attempt after switching to your strategy. Radiant Treasure Gun Lunatic captured! Only two cards left... Vajra of Perfect Buddhism and Greatest Treasure.
-
ALL SPELLS IN UFO CAPTURED!!!
HAHA!!! I just captured the final two spells i needed to capture, Vajra of Perfect Budhism (Hehe Sapz, 1/4) and Greatest Treasure (1/32 - Bombed it most of the time when shooting for RTG. Took 7-8 attempts.)
Now i can finally put the game back on the shelves my honour intact... okay i might play a little hard mode every now and then... in practice only.
Next up would be capturing all spells in SA. I'm only missing Satori's lunatic cards as ReimuC and Marisa ABC as well as Suika's final.
Edit: Captured Satori's third recollection spell as ReimuB. My overall evaluation of the Satori fight with ReimuiB would be that her first two recollection spells are overall pretty good spellcards. The final one is a little meh i think but a masterpiece compared to most of Murasas stuff.
Satori's third non-spell is balls though. Too tight gaps for my tastes.
-
I don't recall there being a third :V
Anyway, "Sinking Vortex" timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6164). Now to work on the last non-spell.
EDIT: And this (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6165).

Whaaaaaaat. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6170)
I don't know whether I really deserved this or not. I felt like I did well for a lot of the game, but holy crap did things fall apart at Dipper and the stage portion of Stage 5. I believe I died to Dipper, then died again with both bombs in stock, then... did I die to Dipper again? I can't remember. Then I died once or twice in S5 with both bombs in stock as well, then miraculously pulled through Syou and Byakuren ending with .75/.66 in supplies (such a bad number to end with, because I made the wrong decision and tried chaining Reds instead of Greens in S6).
Well, regardless of whether or not I deserve it, I'm thankful to the benevolent goddess Suwako for blessing me with this 1cc. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Yaaaay! o/ Another person has finally beaten UFO lunatic. Great job Krim.

Oh, and I beat IaMP on lunatic and I'm damn proud of that.
-
MoF Lunatic 2cc, the first continue ending on Kanako's final nonspell. I think I can definitely pull this off in the near future.
I just need to lay down my hubris and bomb more. All deaths except for one were with at least 3 power... :V
Also, gz Krim. :toot:
-

Yes, but HrTP, SoEW, PoDD, LLS, MS, EoSD, PCB, IN, PoFV, MoF and SA gives you all your resources automatically. You don't have to work for them.
That means that UFO makes resource management much more difficult. Not only can UFO's easily change their colors just before you grab them, they can retreat into a huge cloud of bullets, they can leave the screen etc.
And everytime they do that, you lose much needed resources.

Did Donut and Gengetu leave each other? How odd...
Here's my newest accomplishment! I'm bound to be the only player who is better at capturing Nitori's midboss card than i am at capturing Great Illusionary Waterfall. I must be doing something wrong...
-
Yes, but HrTP, SoEW, PoDD, LLS, MS, EoSD, PCB, IN, PoFV, MoF and SA gives you all your resources automatically. You don't have to work for them.
I dunno, the last few extends in each of those games can be pretty hard to get if you don't work for them, and in the case of SA, if you don't do well on cards/noncards the game basically punishes you for it by giving you less lives.
-
Zengeku: You don't have to work for those resources, despite, you know, them being given after a certain amount of point/point items, or not dying at bosses, which takes effort?
Basically, UFO gives you the most resources in any game at the cost of having to MEMORIZE STAGES.
-
:< When will it be my turn to have a waifu?

At a second glance, MoF / SA gives you more "resources" overall :V
Whatever it is, I'm off to see if I can No Death UFO Lunatic now.
LLS Stage 4A is uploading. Please wait warmly.
Also, taking bets as to how much my skill will "decrease" (or increase) after going on holidays for 5 weeks. Results will be in... January.
Oh, I forgot. Congrats Krim.

Oh my god Relm is sketching
UNL Hard 1cc with Sanae and Cirno. I have decided that Sanae's 2C is god in Story mode, and that "Fantasy Seal -Blink-" should be defeated by flailing bullets around in the air while Reimu commits physic-defying movements that smashes her into every single bullet onscreen, YEAH
Meiling next. God I hate Patchy's first spellcard bleh

Not for me. And in SA you have to die 5 times on 5 different attacks in order to lose 1 life.

Spawning UFO's and doing it right can be a huge source of frustration to me for reasons stated earlier. It adds even more difficulty in addition to Hard which is already difficult enough as it is.
Memorization is out of the question for me. I absolutely hate it. And no, going to PoC whenever the coast is clear doesn't take effort.
-
Yay Relm.
Byakuren Lunatic 4 deaths. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6124) Best run of me so far :V. Too bad I screwed up LFO pretty badly.
-
So I just tried a quick run of SA Hard, touching my th keyboard for the first time since monday last week.
made all the way to Satori without dying once!
of course I managed to screw up, died 4 times to her, then 3 times in stage 5, rached Orin with 0 lives and game overed on her opener.
the thing is, I had never made that far without dying, and I didn't even try hard! but after the initial shock, i got really careless, i can 2 bomb satori most of the time (double black butterfly and bowap).
-
Just cleared another game on Hard.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6184
I still hate Kanako and her last spell though.
-
Cleared MoF extra for the 2nd time, and to my surprise captured the last card (my 2nd attempt ever :O) I fuckin' died at the last 4 seconds of her 2nd-to-last card by bullets spawning on top of me, I could have anticipated it but I didn't so I died ._.
-
On a whim I decided to play MS Extra. Somehow got halfway through Alice's battle! I probably could have made it farther but I always die on those dots at the end. I don't know how to dodge those )=
That attack where she throws crystals at you from all sides is really damn fun :V
-
PCB Lunatic Alice one death battle. Which I'd say is pretty good considering that I'm not really even a Lunatic player... Then again, PCB is apparently pretty freaking easy. Now, if only my computer would stop being mean and actually register deathbombs more often WHEN I KNOW I HIT THAT BOMB KEY BEFORE I EVEN GOT HIT! Ironically, it seems to work more often when I hear the death sound before hitting it than hitting the bomb key before I actually get hit <_< I do so hate my computer...
-
Finally unlocked UFO Extra Stage. Third time I 1cc'd Normal. First time I was in a hurry and quit right after beating Byakuren, and second time the save was on my USB key and I messed up by copying the old file over the new :(
This one was ugly, died with bombs in stock all the time, and died to Murasa's first spell. The one I can capture with no effort whatsoever. For some reason, I find Byakuren's last spell to be her easiest, and easier than every non-spell except her first.
Tried the Extra Stage, and it just looks like random crap. Not fun. I'm not in the mood to memorize a whole stage right now.
I've barely played Touhou since September, but at least my skill level didn't drop too much.
-
Tried the Extra Stage, and it just looks like random crap.
You're pretty much dead-on there :V
-
Not for me. And in SA you have to die 5 times on 5 different attacks in order to lose 1 life.
Actually, you only have to miss one to miss a life, because 4 life shards gives you absolutely nothing as far as the game is concerned (trust me, I've lost count of boss fights I've lost because I was just one shard short of another life, one which I'd have gotten if I hadn't screwed up somewhere before).
And no, going to PoC whenever the coast is clear doesn't take effort.
Please show me good occasions in places like stage 3 IN where you can go above the PoC to collect enough powerups for another extend before the boss, because the windows for doing that stages like that are few and far-between.
-

You don't have to PoC all the time during stage portions of IN though. As long as you have 1100 point items by the end of the game, you'll get all the lives. This isn't very difficult because stage 6 throws over 300 of them at you, and they are all easy to collect.

Didn't help when I first started playing touhou since Kiene and Marisa were the bane of my existence because they kept eating up all my lives. On EASY.
Come to think of it, that probably qualifies as some sort of accomplishment, doesn't it?
-
Wierd but true:
So it's my second time playing EoSD (or, in fact, any Touhou). I was using Normal, Marisa B, and beat the game using only ONE continue.
Since then, I have gotten worse.
-
Just beat phantasm woo go me.
Is it just me or are some of yukari's cards EASIER than Ran's versions of them?

Okay, what the hell? I just tried a UFO Lunatic run.
Stage 2, 2 deaths, once with 2 bombs in stock.
Stage 3, 2 deaths, once with 2 bombs in stock.
Stage 4, SIX DEATHS, TWICE with two bombs in stock.
Stage 5, two deaths, once with two bombs in stock (because I for some reason decided to try and capture Radiant Treasure Gun hurrrr).
And yet, after that terrible, terrible run, I still made it to stage 6. How the Christ did that happen?
...This might be slightly less difficult than I originally thought. :V

6 deaths though...I'm wondering how did you even get past :V
4 less deaths on st4 and you would have pretty much a 1cc guarranteed.

Ah ha, finally you're getting it. UFO is hardly the strict game everyone thinks it is. I think I got 12 lives in my clear and still had 3 left over (meaning I died 9 times which is the amount of lives some of the more lenient Touhou games give you).
-

I'd probably have beaten Phantasm already myself if it weren't for the stage being so absurd. Especially FREAKING RAN!

Am I actually getting good at the fighting games? :o
So yeah, SWR is a lot different than IaMP I noticed. The story mode is less a fighting game and more a "figure out the pattern and for the love of God don't get hit" game. It's a lot easier in any case.
Used Reimu because she's God tier. She can take out most spellcards with 3 shotgun B's followed by a kick (Komachi gets completely destroyed with this).
I kind of overreacted before on "Scarlet Weather Rhapsody of All Humankind". It's not that bad once I figured out you had to get rid of the small lasers on the last phase by grazing through them first. Skipped the second phase though, because I don't know what the fuck.
Youtubing this up because I'm just way to proud of this. :V
Another lunatic bites the dust, only two more to go. \o/

How do you graze through the small lasers without getting completely destroyed :V
-
Captured Resurrection Butterfly Hard on the 4th try or so. Meh... Not so sure how much of an accomplishment this really is. It's pretty freaking easy for a game's final card, especially since it's a survival. It's not that tough if you dodge a bit up the screen instead of letting the red waves extend.

*parsee from someone who has never even captured Normal mode's version*
-
So yeah, why is the image named mokou2? That sounds like something I'd do.
-
Haha, awesome. No death clear on MoF Normal(which is incidentally probably the easiest to do that on). Blew away all my other scores since I ended with over 700k faith, also more than I've ever gotten to before.
Hurray bombing.
Also, I captured Mountain of Faith, so that was pretty cool and everything too. :D
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6212
That completes my normal 1ccing on MoF, now for SA. Then I can go back to Hard mode(which forsook me a few months ago)...
-
Got bored and did SA Stage 4 above the PoC with MarisaC (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6213). It was actually pretty fun :V
Maybe I should try it above Easy Modo, though.
-
So I just played Phantasm for the first time in about a month... and I one death the entire stage. I get a perfect Yukari fight...
IF ONLY I BOTHERED TO COMPLETELY MEMORIZE THE STAGE, I WOULD HAVE BEEN THE 3RD PERSON OUTSIDE JAPAN TO PERFECT PHANTASM!
Brb... Ima try again.
-
I captured Benevolent Orleans Dolls. That is one NASTY card... How exactly did I capture it again?
-
EDIT: Making a new topic for this, rather than cluttering up this one.

I tried Shuuso Gyoku.
deathbombs
HAHAHAHAHAno
No deathbombing, and the game takes it as you respawning right away
-
HAHAHAHAHAno

Further testing confirms this, and also points out that you get normal bombs per life in the Extra. (I'm assuming it's 2, because that's what it was set to.)
Also, got up to Marisa...
...and she's exactly as hard as she looks.
...CRAP.
-
Capped Mystia's Last Word (don't ask how -- those squeezes looked too tight even for Reimu), as well as two of Keine's extra-stage cards and Mokou's phoenix card (only 11 more to go, lol).
I'm going to O.o if I clear extra before getting a 1cc on normal.

Reached midboss Youmu on PCB Lunatic. I've died all the way from st2 to st5 before she finally finished me off.

...wow. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6219)
I'm really surprised at myself. I've only been playing Hard for what, a month? Obviously I didn't complete it the game, but...wow.
-
Decided to try for a Brilliant Dragon Bullet timeout. Turns out it's really easy, so then I did it No Vertical (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6220). I also tried no focus and died with 1 second left. >:(
Also Dragon's Necklace Normal timeout, which is a LOT harder than lunatic. I had to use a completely ridiculous strategy that involved circling around Kaguya.
-
SA Stage 6 Normal perfect run! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ok2iaspP0A)
Oh yeah. Hard Mode's definitely calling me now. For the record, I've already beaten Stages 1-3 on Hard - I just need a good amount of time to practice the rest.
-
Vajra of Perfect Buddhism: 2/82
FINALLY. I nearly timed the attack out for how long it took.
-
1cc'd IN Hard, again. More Netherworld Team, went to Eirin instead of Kaguya.
It becomes somewhat easy once you realize that Youmu's regular bomb does more damage than her deathbomb. So, it's like you get 2.2x the total damage once you stop doing deathbombing.
Not to mention the absurd amount of bombs you get with their abilities.
Edit: Oh, it also seems as though I've captured 7 Last Words, including Wriggles and Yuyuko's. That's pretty sweet.
-
Reached Youmu's final Lunatic card. If I'd had another bomb, I probably could have reached stage 6... Of course, I did die with bombs in stock multiple times on the way there, so... >.<
Gah, if only I could consistently deathbomb, I might actually be able to 1-freaking-cc PCB Lunatic!

Yeah, PCB does give you quite a bit to work with. I wasted 11 bombs from Youmu's second noncard to Yuyuko's second card on my 1cc (died with 3, 5, 3). Go for it!
Also, Shuuso Gyoku Normal 2cc again. Working our way down. SG is the exact opposite of resource-heavy. You get 6 lives and 14 bombs. With SakuyaA I think PCB gives you 10 lives and 42 bombs...and note that deathbombing kills you and takes a bomb, so you can lose four of your chances in a single shot easily.
-
Yeah, PCB does give you quite a bit to work with.
Yeah I used 32 bombs on my 1cc. That's THIRTY-TWO bombs, and I wasn't even using Sakuya. I died once with three bombs in stock (hurr two deaths to Youmu's 2nd boss non-spell) and once with one bomb. (I also finished 0/0)

The stage portion of Stage 4 is actually easier than everything but Stage 1, imo. And even then I sometimes reset because I didn't get the UFOs right.
I made it up to Murasa's last this time though. Her third card raped me in the ass, violently.
-
As of 15 minutes ago, I have been playing Touhou for two years. I never imagined I would still be playing that series I tried on a whim, let alone get this good...
To celebrate, I went and 1cc'd Mountain of Faith normal - where I got my start (okay it was easy mode but I didn't want a bad ending)...NO VERTICAL!
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6244
Here's hoping to another year. I'm sure I'll find some other way to get even better from here!
-
Well, I seem to be making progress on PCB Lunatic. Reached Yuyuko's second nonspell before game over. If I can just figure out when I need to bomb, I think I can do this... And if I can get better at stage 4. Seriously, ARGH! Lily White, the enemies right before her (not the ones that have individual types of bullets, only the waves that have all three) and the enemies right before the Prismrivers all slaughter me. The ones that release the tons of aimed shots are ridiculous. If I only tap very slightly, they kill me with the main burst. Any more than that, and I tend to run straight into the scattered bullets. Then that last death fairy... If I don't get a border on it, I'm forced to waste a bomb, or die if I don't get EXTREMELY lucky.
Then the Prismrivers drive me INSANE >.< Lunasa's second nonspell, the first spell, Lyrica's attacks, and the last two cards... All of those are areas I'm SERIOUSLY likely to screw up on. Especially the last one. Yes, sometimes I do fail Lyrica's card, the moving wall above me ends up being too long and I can't get through.
Of course, that's not even mentioning the tons of stupid deaths I tend to have on stage 2 & 3... And all the restarts I keep making on stage 1 due to Cirno and everything before her. Frost Columns keeps throwing me stupid deaths, as well as a lot of the first half of the stage >.<

Well, I seem to be making progress on PCB Lunatic. Reached Yuyuko's second nonspell before game over. If I can just figure out when I need to bomb, I think I can do this... And if I can get better at stage 4. Seriously, ARGH! Lily White, the enemies right before her (not the ones that have individual types of bullets, only the waves that have all three) and the enemies right before the Prismrivers all slaughter me. The ones that release the tons of aimed shots are ridiculous. If I only tap very slightly, they kill me with the main burst. Any more than that, and I tend to run straight into the scattered bullets. Then that last death fairy... If I don't get a border on it, I'm forced to waste a bomb, or die if I don't get EXTREMELY lucky.
Then the Prismrivers drive me INSANE >.< Lunasa's second nonspell, the first spell, Lyrica's attacks, and the last two cards... All of those are areas I'm SERIOUSLY likely to screw up on. Especially the last one. Yes, sometimes I do fail Lyrica's card, the moving wall above me ends up being too long and I can't get through.

Which shot type are you using? Reimu gets a fairly easy Prismriver opener, and then you get two really easy spells if you fight Lyrica (red). As for the pre-Lily stuff, just don't shoot anything. The bullets they fire if you don't kill them are all aimed and are very easy to avoid.

Reimu B. And I have been going and fighting Lyrica. I just happen to end up screwing up against her more than I should be against such really easy attacks :V And yeah, I think I'll try not shooting against the last stuff before Lily...

WHAT
UNL's lunatic was giving me a lot of problems lately, so I tried it again but with the system cards that I unlocked recently.
FIRST TRY, these things make everything ten times easier, it's insane.
Used Cirno because she's the strongest.
Welp, that was all the fighters done. Much faster than I could ever have possibly imagined.
We're going out with a bang, last up is UFO.

Not enough people saw this. GODrake of Ran's opener, and her first card no-vert (from spawn position). (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6246)

Reached Flowery Soul before game overing. I'm definitely making progress. My biggest weakness is, without a doubt, the fact that I keep dying with bombs in stock. 12 misses, 29 bombs used. That doesn't sound too bad, right? Actually, it is. That's a grand total of TEN bombs wasted, since over twelve lives, I get 36 bombs, plus the ones that drop on stages 2, 4, and 6. Granted, it could have been MUCH worse, but I still need to figure out when to bomb so this doesn't happen again.
On the subject of bombs, does anyone have any advice on when it would be a good idea to bomb for extra point items during stages? Sometimes enemies will drop TONS of them, and if I don't get a border, that means that I'm basically ending up missing a ridiculous amount of them... And since point items give extends, missing them is NOT a good thing.
On a side note, I'm having trouble believing that I'm seriously considering trying and 1ccing PCB Lunatic O.O And actually getting pretty freaking close. I've definitely come a long way, especially for the amount of time I've been playing Touhou. Though I've forgotten exactly when... I'm pretty sure the earliest it could have been was around June. Possibly sometime later actually. Meh, whatever...

Bomb the Stage 6 opener. You get like 130 point items or so. The first half of Stage 5 also has a section with a lot of point items that you probably won't be able to collect.
-
Actually...Stage 5's first half is a) pretty simple, if you memorize is, and b) can net you a good ~150 point items if you do.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6117
Watch stage 5, I'm pretty sure I did it right. If not, I'll upload a proper one after class.
But dodge as long as you can and then fire a bomb on the beginning of S6, you can get another ~120.

You missed quite a few point items and you're using Homing attacks. There's a section where the faeries spawn quickly enough that it's difficult to kill all of them and autocollect with ReimuB, and it's much safer to just throw a bomb and collect ALL the point items. Sure it's possible, but I wouldn't recommend it if you're trying to 1cc for the first time. Plus it's just one bomb and you can get 181+ point items in this section.
(Also I'm apparently really really good at dying to Youmu's spells when they have 0.0001% life left and/or are exploding.)
-
On a side note, I'm having trouble believing that I'm seriously considering trying and 1ccing PCB Lunatic O.O
I don't think it beats me moment of utter horror when I realised I was 2/1 after Asura Sword, with 770-ish point items. Eternal Truth started up in bullet time as I thought to myself: "Holy shit... I could actually do this..."
(nostalgia start)
That run ended at wave #5 of Resurrection Butterfly, where I panicked from the first wave on and never recovered (having gone in 0/3). I'll never forget how awful I felt looking at the "Try Again?" screen. I was convinced that I had gotten there by a fluke and that it would never happen again.
3am the following night, I got out of bed, switched my PC on and played. Got to Resurrection Butterfly 0/1. I figured that if I couldn't beat my favourite spell in the series, I didn't deserve to win. I captured it and got my 1cc. My only regret is that I didn't have a microphone at the time, since I've never screamed so loudly in my life.

Finally managed to pull off a MoF Stage 2 Lunatic no death run after...countless attempts. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ciQ1yUuZk0)
Although I have to admit - I suck at Hina's midboss spell card. Like most Lunatic scorerunners, might as well bomb for scoring purposes. Also, deathbomb fail (though I ran straight towards Hina)... >_>
I'm probably gonna try to attempt a Stage 5 no death run...but I already have too much problems with Sanae's 2nd and 3rd spell cards, since I'm 0/22 on both of those cards...but I'll try to figure something out. The 4th and 5th spell cards I can handle just fine, though.

*blink* Did I just... Have a perfect Lunatic Alice battle? Well, not counting borders, but still, no deaths and no bombs? Just... I can't believe it.

Whether you died or not, it doesn't really count as a perfect battle if you got hit. Though beating Alice without dying or bombing is still a pretty sweet achievement.
-
Well, here's a replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6252) of that run. It wasn't a clear, due to epic screwups on Youmu, but I still made it to Flowery Soul.

it's not a perfect when you break borders
Alice always makes me waste 2 lives....
-
dammit finally
UFO Hard Clear. No 1cc, but having to complete both stage 5 and 6 with only 3 lives each... It will make 1ccing much, much easier.
-
*blink* Did I just... Have a perfect Lunatic Alice battle? Well, not counting borders, but still, no deaths and no bombs? Just... I can't believe it.
Congratulations with that.
Come to think of it, i haven't perfected S3 in PCB Lunatic yet. Perfected Alice quite a bunch of times but never managed to get the stage perfect simultaneously. Then again, that stage portion is pretty unforgiving. Not as much as UFO but still... wow.
-
I've... just completed PCB Extra for the first time, and it's the very first Extra stage I've ever completed. I really wasn't expecting to, I made so many mistakes, and I've never even properly seen Ran's last spellcard. I've never even made it through PCB 1cc Hard.
I'm still shaking.

Huge walls. I then get a slowdown period, which is completely unhelpful for getting through said walls.
The 2nd to last one is the easiest card in the stage though.
EDIT: Make that 2nd easiest. Forgot about Asura Sword.

Okay I'm weird.
Captured it again. 4/8 record so far.
Any hints for her second nonspell?(first boss one)
I've thought about going through the waves before they overlap right up to Youmu so I can focus bomb her in the face, but it does almost nothing....

The only replay I have of this is entirely unhelpful (though I did "capture" the attack). My current strategy is somewhat odd, and is probably best shown with a picture. If you start the first wave at the bottom middle of the screen, you'll end up something like this a couple seconds later:
(http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/231/th016.jpg)
Note the "open path" shown by the red line. I follow that path (you'll actually end up doing this with mostly horizontal movements and possibly move up one or two paths). Obvious paths will form through the yellow bullets shortly thereafter. More importantly, you direct the 2nd wave to the left side of the screen, so then you can quickly move back to the right through the yellow bullets and not get screwed over by the intersecting bullets.
The Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6143) if you want it. I totally don't use this technique at all and just lolrandom dodge. (Ignore everything else. Seriously. This was a completely blind run, I didn't know any of the cards aside from the one Hard run I did like a month before.) I'm too tired right now that if I tried a practice stage 5 I'd probably screw up just about everything.
EDIT: loooool just tried it. I died twice to the non-card. Except I didn't die during the "hard part", I DIED TO THE AIMED TRIANGLE THINGS THAT YOU JUST HAVE TO TAP ONCE TO AVOID AND THERE WERE NO ROUND BULLETS ON THE SCREEN ROFL. I also bombspammed just about everything else and broke a border by moving directly into Youmu.
EDIT 2: Ok I did somewhat non-terrible this time. I did it successfully twice and ran directly into a bullet once (causing me to die twice because the triangle bullets were everywhere). I also captured the 2nd to last spellcard, so whatever. Everything else is pretty bad (bomb spam) at 9 AM after getting zero sleep. Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6256)

I've captured HGS more than I've captured Asura Sword.

Speaking of Lunatic Youmu cards, I just captured Components of Konpaku. First capture of ANY of her cards I've made on Lunatic.
EDIT: Update on my progress on PCB Lunatic. Managed to reach Resurrection Butterfly before game overing with a bomb in stock. If I can just stop dying with bombs in stock, I KNOW I can do this. I think I died twice on Mortality, one of those with three bombs in stock, and I died to Lunasa's opener with a bomb in stock...
On a side note, I just realized something. Theoretically, it might be possible to beat PCB Lunatic without capturing even a SINGLE spellcard. Say you get a total of 12 lives as Reimu B. That's 36 bombs, PLUS the ones dropped in stages 2, 4, and 6. Which grants you a total of FORTY bombs. If you consider that it's entirely possible to get borders on every single one of Alice's spellcards, as well as getting them on Cirno and Chen's midboss (Cirno's is theoretical, haven't done this) and getting two on Chen's cards... Then add in borders for the rest of the bosses... That's a total of at LEAST four cards on the first two stages alone if you can't get a border on Letty, then another 5 on stage 3, that you can avoid capturing without bombing or dying. Then it's also possible to get borders on all the Prismriver cards in one run...
Eh, pointless speculation and random comments. It would take some effort to deliberately 1cc without making any captures. And there wouldn't be much point. Still, I find that somewhat interesting, and I'm relatively sure it's not something you can do in most other games.
-
You could just time them out to avoid wasting the bombs.
-

Well, there are timeouts, but beating the game without timing out OR capturing the spellcards. Also, tested the thing on if it's possible to get a border on Cirno. Yes, it is.
-
Timeout of "The Phantom of the Grand Guignol" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6266). :V Mostly a memorization-fest, although I ended up pretty much sightreading the final wave. Pretty fun, though... will probably stick this on YouTube tomorrow.
-
Got to Marisa's last phase!
I wouldn't hate Shuuso Gyoku's extra quite as much IF I COULD SEE WHAT KILLS ME. Marisa is fair - BRUTAL AND INSANE - but fair; the stage, though...easily over 90% of all deaths I DO NOT SEE WHAT HIT ME.
-
The stage is streaming. =V
Protip: At the orange part, stream right. The bullets are aimed, but oddly enough, the gap on the right is larger then the left.
Also, the second midboss is static. Learn a safespot, and then just go there everytime.
-
Marisa is fair
wut. Marisa is easily the most luck-based part of the entire stage. The stage isn't bad once you figure out its gimmicks, and Reimu, while objectively harder, doesn't throw nearly as much bullshit at you.
For that orange streaming part, the reason you're dying isn't because of the laser is it? Those things have huge hitboxes, and if you get anywhere near being under the enemies, they'll clip you. You should try to stay close to the stream of bullets that are aimed away from you, rather than the ones aimed at you, if that makes any sense.
Oh and also, try supergrazing the streaming ships at the very beginning and play around with the stage at max rank for a bit. Then when you go back to normal, everything will seem pathetically easy in comparison. ;)
-
Marisa is fair - BRUTAL AND INSANE
All I meant is that you can see what she's shooting. (Unlike the stage, or, say, GATES.) And I had a feeling someone was going to post just that anyway.
I'm well aware the stage is streaming, and it's not the orange part that's killing me unfairly. It's the grid. I can't see what hits me on the grid part and it drives me insane.
Also, the second midboss is static. Learn a safespot, and then just go there everytime.
Yeah, I should do that. I usually have a bomb running from the end of the orange phase, though. :P
-
OH! The Grid! Right, the bullet lines are the same everytime.
Vertical: Stay slightly left/right of middle
Boxes: stay at bottom mid
Hori 1: Stay at bottom, dodge horizontally
Hori 2: Move up a bit from the bottom, dodge horizontally
Dia 1: Stay at your general position from Hori 2
Dia 2: Move left a bit
Now, of course the red bullets make it hard, but that's how you make sure you don't get hit by the orange lines.
Marisa is fun when she isn't using the BS stuff =V
Oh, and if you can't dodge the red bullets using the method of avoiding the orange lines I told you, you'll have trouble at Reimu's first phase second part. So yeah.
-
I know where the grid goes. Honestly, I've beaten a couple Lunatics here, I can see a BRIGHT ORANGE static pattern. :V
It's the red bullets - and frequently I get rammed by the dark-colored and entirely obscured enemies, and I can't see it.

Consider this an apology for the long period of time I considered UFO such a wtf game. Having not played since the ReimuB 1cc on Thanksgiving, I pull a ReimuA 1cc out of my ass on the first try (okay, okay, there was one restart because I died before the Stage 1 title, but blah specifics).
UFO has now surpassed SA in the number of shottypes I've 1cced with. UFO has both Reimus cleared, while SA still only has ReimuA cleared because every other shottype fires marshmallows for bullets because I suck because I'm lazy.'
*officially opens up the UFO entry in his spreadsheet of Touhou shottype 1ccs.
Edit: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6268
SanaeB that time. Decent until Byakuren, then I die twice with bombs in stock to Milky Way, and panicbomb the hell out of LFO until I end with 0/0 supplies. By the way, panicbombing LFO with SanaeB is just about the worst thing you can do. Frognuke blindness + nonerasing bullets = good luck fitting yourself into holes you can't see.
*wants to know when UFO actually became fun.

Decided to fool around with IN Hard due to tons of early stupid mistakes I'm making on normal (I can usually get to stage 5), and somehow managed to claw my way to Marisa (grabbed Mystia's last spell along the way, but failed Wriggle's, what?). Maybe if I play a bit more hard, I'll be able to go back and finish clearing normal ...

So I realized today that I somehow forgot about Shuusou Gyoku in my mass cleansing of games from my computer. And the Seihou talk recently kinda made me want to play it so... yeah.
Another 2-death Extra stage clear. And I actually remembered to save a replay this time(to give theshim some encouragement incase anyone cares). It could have and should have been 1-death, but a really stupid panic bomb in her fourth-last phase had me facing Reimu's ungodly horror of a survival attack with 3/0. Oh well.

There are two sets of dat files in the folder. The top set is the replays and the others I don't know what they're for.

Ah ha ha ha...oh my god...
Curious, though: is Reimu's backfired orange spam always aimed around you? It looked like it at first, but you had to bomb the later ones...
EDIT: Hey, I got to Reimu! Without doing anything differently, though, so I dunno if your replay helped at all. Also, yes, it is, but hell if I know where to go to dodge the red yin-yang orbs.
-
Perfected SG Extra's Stage Part. Unfortunately, I died at Marisa's last phase in the same run. The fuck?
-
Did LLS Extra again. Had four lives left at the end this time. What I'm really amazed at though, is my score. 51,515,470. Those videos of LLS Extra I've watched that Baity has... Those don't even reach 65 million for the high score. Wait, how the hell did I get within 15 million points of his, I thought I sucked at scoring O_O
Eh, just something I noticed that I decided to comment on :V Those extra 15 million points are probably hard as hell to get, I'm just amazed that I can get even close to half the score that someone like Baity has, much less over 5/6 of it. And then he used Reimu in those videos instead of Marisa A, so the bonus from ending enemies attacks quicker would be less... Wait, why the hell am I even mentioning any of this? Maybe I'm just crazy or something...
-
Oh MAN that felt liberating. SoEW extra no rapid fire for the second time ever (though the other time was windowed). This surprisingly only took two tries, the first of which had me dying in the first 30 seconds. I wonder if It'd be suicide to try making better runs after this with double tapping...? I'll upload this whenever I get around to it.
-
AAAAAAAAH!!!
Shuuso Gyoku Extra clear! With a life left in stock, no less! Pure luck on Reimu's second to last phase was the only reason I didn't finish 0/0.
It's kind of funny how Reimu's last couple phases are the easiest part of the whole thing.
Now I should probably go back and actually 1cc Shuuso Gyoku...
-
You beat Extra before 1ccing Normal? That's... interesting. But still, CONGRATULATIONS!
Now try Banshiryuu's Extra stage.

Wait a minute, how did you even unlock extra? I tried unlocking homing VIVIT for extra by beating the game on easy mode, but it didn't work.
-
Wait a minute, how did you even unlock extra? I tried unlocking homing VIVIT for extra by beating the game on easy mode, but it didn't work.
All you need to do is beat the game on I believe Normal or above (1ccing isn't necessary), and Extra will be unlocked. And in BSR-C74, you can beat it on any difficulty (Thank God).
I guess that's one aspect where Seihou is more forgiving than Touhou. Well, that and their power systems. =V
-
Mine came with it unlocked, so whatever.
Congrats. You going to Youtube it? There aren't that many clears of it on Youtube.
Also, I've been trying for weeks and still haven't done it. =V Fucking Marisa god modes when I perfect/no miss the stage.
Oh, and I finally figured out why I don't consistantly get the maximum # of points at the beginning of Samidare Extra(I aim for 11 Million or something like that); I kill some enemies in the second wave without the 16x bonus. Waiting a bit before shooting(like, about half a second) with my shield up fixes that up.

Yes, yes she bloody well does. I have the stage down to a single bomb, so I can (barring any stupidity) get to Marisa 3/2 consistently, but...hell, most runs don't even make it to Reimu...and the real make-or-break moment on Reimu is her bloody second phase. I always get orb'ed.
I'd youtube it...if I saved the replay...which I didn't...
-
Hmm great to post in here for once.
PCB Phantasm stage cleared :V
Half of her cards are actually easier than Ran's version, but still...
Had some weird fail, my death on the 2nd card was identical to one I had on a previous attempt and I thought 'I am gonna hit by the left angled ball so hard you won't believe it!' *gets hit* 'told ya!'. And an awesome clipdeath after that illusion card or w/e it's called (where she teleports) strangely identical to a previous run.
I'm glad I finally got to try that last one of hers, and I didn't fail as epically as I thought I would

Not bad considering I haven't done a full run of EoSD in months, and especially since it was with Reimu A. There's a lot of cool things about this run (such as running out of bombs on Meiling's opener and still keeping all my lives until the books), but the real highlight is that I never die with bombs in stock. :V Cleared 3/2.

I even managed to do a perfect Ichirin fight for the first time. :o
Ended with two lives to spare.
Man, when I first started playing these games in early April this year, I would never have expected to get this far.
This is an example that a man can do anything if he puts his mind to it.
And with that, let me just say, YEAAAAAH (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6286)

wow contratulations!!
-
Awesome :V
I've started in June and never really played it for that long(except for VoWG)
That means I have 2 months to do all lunatics :V

damn! gotta finish SA and UFO already :/

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF- :parsee:
Huge congrats, man. That 1cc was really quick!
Hopefully it won't take me too much longer to do it myself...

Congrats! It's a really great feeling to-
Wait, you started playing in April of this year?
...
:'( <-- Took just under two years to do it
No really, good job. Where do you go from here?
-
I don't remember when I started. I know I did sometime after Bananamatic 1cc'd most of the normals, but I don't remember exactly.
-
Wait, April? Talk about getting good quickly. That just adds extra spice to your accomplishment. Congrats on the 1ccs!
I've been playing a month and I'm already on SA Hard, but I'm not sure I'll be able to 1cc all lunatics faster than that. Not to mention SA is the only Touhou game I have that I take seriously at the moment - I have UNL, but I haven't been willing to learn any of the (horrible) characters who have story modes, focusing instead on human vs. human fighting. I might feel like downloading MoF and/or EoSD sometime soon, however.
I guess I better get back on topic. Perfected SA Stages 1 and 2 on Hard - 1 last night and 2 earlier this afternoon. As I continue to nail these, I'm able to see just how much better I'm getting at movement control. I still have a ways to go, but I'm having great fun challenging myself like this.

Finished with 4 lives, 1 bomb.
Better than my completely illegitimate first 1cc where I finished 0/0 (and got through Resurrection Butterfly through sheer border/bomb spam brute force) :V
Of course I captured Resurrection Butterfly on like the first st6 practice try after that, GO FIGURE. I don't even want to talk about the SA 1cc I failed due to dying on Ten Evil Stars.

That's amusing, PCB was my first Lunatic and my first clear ended with the exact same amount of lives. Congratz. :toot:
Also:
SG stage 4 Lunatic 1 death no bombs.
That purple wave is complete bullshit and I have no idea how to even read it. And there were at least two patterns that I dodged by sheer luck; one of the aimed yellow/red waves during the stage (It's usually easy, I just got greedy with graze), and BoWaP... I don't know what the hell I was doing there. I did end up capturing her last pattern though, ironically enough.
If I can figure out that purple wave and not fuck up the rest I could possibly do this.
-
No really, good job. Where do you go from here?
I've got no intention of quitting Touhou anytime soon, so don't worry. :V
What to do? Well from the top of my head:
- PCB lunatic 1cc, no bombs or borders broken
- CtC lunatic 1cc, because you were to lazy to do it nobody has done this yet to my knowledge.
- The story of Eastern Wind, no deaths extra stage
- LLS, perfect extra stage
And much, much more. There's wayyy too much to do. D:

I believe my first lunatic was EoSD's, so beginning with one of the hardest helped a lot I believe. :V

http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6294
In contrast to my failed no deaths EoSD extra run, it's nice to go in with the intent to do something, and DO IT. Mokou's rings of doom captured for the first time. Other highlights of this run include:
Running into Keine after Returning-Bridge Ichijo because the time points obscured her. :V
Capturing Flying Phoenix after screwing up. The dodge I made was more miraculous than the rings of doom capture.
Pulling off a perfect death-bomb with Alice. I always feel like I one-upped the game whenever I do this.
Also, I suicided against Imperishable Shooting to try and synch with the music, but I failed. :(
-
Every character 1cced in PoFV Easy/Normal/Hard. God that took forever.
Last one was Komachi Hard, and it ended epicly. Too bad THE REPLAY DIDN'T SAVE RAAAAGE, its a nice score...
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/2107/2h362ah2.jpg)
-
Oh hey, speaking of Mokou's rings of doom, here's (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6295) a timeout of it without using bombs.
Off course I died a few times. What are you, crazy? :V
Also includes the most shamefull way to fail Imperishable Shooting ever.
-
Whew, that was a close call. SA extra cleared with Marisa B. After being knocked down to no lives by Super-Ego I became very careful with my movements and death bombed Rorschach I think three times, captured PINGAS at zero power, and did the most ballsy clear of Genetics ever, where Koishi was only a few pixels away from contact killing me and I was inside the genetic pattern, and in the end I won with a life to spare.
-
Are you really donut? :V

You have to risk bodyslamming or use a bomb to do Wood shotgun in my experience.
Her Water shot is good for spread damage, and if you don't want to try anything else she's still fairly nice for that. IMO if you only use Fire and Water though you should just switch to MarisaA, focused she still does better damage then Patch Fire (I think) with all the spread of Water.
SA is a game of sucky/gimmicky shot types anyway, anything other then ReimuA will probably just make things harder
-
It's not like MarisaB is hard to use. She probably gets SA Normal even easier than ReimuA does. I've gotten close to 1ccing with all of them except for MarisaC which is the one that sucks, but I always make like 4 or 5 stupid deaths earlier in which cost me the 1cc.
-
If you can 1cc PCB lunatic, you can 1cc SA normal with Marisa B. >_>
There's only one thing keeping Marisa B from being decent, and that's the fact that none of her practical shot types do shit for damage. Well, and the fact that unless you planned it, your bomb will do zero damage to the boss and only clears the bullets in a small area around you. Well, and the fact that Marisa's hitbox is particularly crippling in SA. Well, and the fact that - yeah, you get the idea.

Well, and the fact that Marisa's hitbox is particularly crippling in SA. Well, and the fact that - yeah, you get the idea.
She's basically only good if your pro at using her different shot elements effectively. Even then, a homing shot type would be preferred, which brings up the other reason she's okay; most of SA's shot types have huge glaring flaws.
MarisaC is a forward focus shot with bad damage and worse range then the actual forward focus shot type, and a bomb that deals nearly no damage.
MarisaA has reverse focus syndrome, although her shot type is excellent if you can get past that (Her bombs are not weak though, people. With 2 bombs she can deal more damage then many of the games bombs for the same power expense)
*I actually made her just sound really nice, but she isn't as great as I may have just implied. Reverse focus syndrome REALLY sucks.
ReimuC has annoying moving options, and they actually deal pretty sucky damage without the base shot. Her bomb is excellent though which makes her popular.
ReimuB is a homing shot type with terrible homing capabilities. Her bomb will often suck ass. Her support ability would be useful if life gaining was like PCB/IN, but it isn't.
ReimuA for some absurd reason does a HUGE amount more damage then the other characters, has a great bomb, and a support ability that trivializes some parts of the game. What the hell, ZUN.
-

Well... it's Yukari, after all..
I find MarisaC pretty good.. I mean, she has the second strongest long-ranged shot..
The problem is that she's not good with moving targets..
-
MarisaB is one of my favorite shottypes ever :V
I've always seen MarisaC as the worst shottype in SA because she is literally just ReimuA except worse. Both are forward-shot types, only Reimu is stronger and her bullets fly faster (usually doesn't matter much, but MarisaC bullets are slow); both bombs clear the screen, only Reimu's clears regardless of what you do and lets you graze the whole time while Marisa's requires you to ram a bullet, otherwise you wasted .50 power. Then there's Marisa's faster speed and fatbox compared to Reimu's precise control and tiny hitbox...yeah. Even ReimuB at least has homing (sorta) and the auto-collect is useful if you're not in the habit of supergrazing or can't get to the PoC.
Although I really do like Marisa's speed tbh, regardless of how many times I've died because of it, her speed is just fun :V
-

Focus speed is the same, unfocus is .5 of a frame faster (its somewhere between 4.5~5.5, don't remember). So Marisa actually isn't any more dangerous to use compared to Reimu, except I guess the fact that her hitbox is like 1 pixel bigger.

Couple of friends have forced me to play Umineko, which I don't really have any desire to, and they're dead set about it. I've also been hopelessly trying to clear IN Extra since months ago and have put it on hiatus since the last few days due to schoolwork. So I decided to screw it, and said
<Nwbi> lol okay
<Nwbi> But only after I beat IN Extra Stage. =D
Guess what happened?
IN Extra Clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6301)
In one try. God, why did you do this. >_>
-

Congratulations with that :) Finished with more lives than i did. I ended my run with just two lives remaining and i lost about 4 lives to Yuyuko. I should go improve that run sometime.

This skill down is worse than I thought. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6306)
Oh well ... it's a 1cc anyway :V
-
IN Extra Clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6301)
Off to play Umineko with you!!
If you can 1cc PCB lunatic, you can 1cc SA normal with Marisa B. >_>
Its frightening how much you suck suddenly when your character sucks. My PCB Lunatic 1cc went better than this SA Normal 1cc with MarisaB.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6307 (Caution: It is recommended for everyone not to watch this replay. It sucks.)
EDIT: I almost got Shou perfected on Hard mode. I unfortunatly died to her final card. Aww...
I also got a similar experience with Kogasa. I thought that i'd perfect her using a character that doesn't trivialize her first spellcard.
Damn you Kogasa for having such an unfair spell. :( Still a pretty sweet girl though...
-
SA Stage 5 Normal perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6310)
No bombs/deaths and nothing that could potentially trivialize any part of the level - that means no teleporting, intentional time-outs/stalling, or going pacifist at all.
I need to not play this level again for a while.
-
PCB Lunatic Stage 5 No-Deaths. I almost captured Hell God Sword too. Its not even like i got an impossible wave or something. I could easily have managed it but screwed up nevertheless. Meh... still got it no-deaths though.

Hope you are happy about it. That stage can be tough even at Normal if you are not gapping. Maybe because i haven't put a single bit of effort into perfecting anything between mid-boss Orin and boss Orin.
-
Whoa, my skill level has gone up a LONG way extremely quickly. I just 1cc'd PCB Hard again, this time being almost completely effortless. Even with an INSANE number of stupid deaths, (Chen and Alice gave me one each, might have been two on Alice instead of one, not sure, and about six to Youmu I think...) I cleared it with a life to spare.
-
Double-post because this needs more than a mere edit. PCB LUNATIC 1CC! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6323) THAT'S RIGHT, LUNATIC! I believe that I started playing late June or early July... Let's say July. Which means I beat my first Lunatic within five months of playing~

About a year ago, when I'd just begun to take my first baby steps down the path of danmaku, Veronica pulled a timeout of VoWG: an awe-inspiring feat that I never would have imagined I would be able to replicate. Even half a year later, when I was a decently seasoned Lunatic, Kefit pulled the same accomplishment, which still seemed out of my reach. Today, I honor their achievements by unleashing the miko within, and reenacting one of the greatest achievements of two of the greatest Western Touhou players to grace our community.
VoWG, No Death/No Bomb Timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6331) History: x/283
(I swear, I'll never write such a cheesy post again. This is simply the only way I can express the sense of "wtf did that just happen?" that I'm feeling right now.)
-
Amazing. My record is still at 5 deaths. Well bloody done!
-
I think I'll actually play some Touhou over Winter break. You've inspired me, Krim.
No, not your VoWG timeout, but the fact that you made a cheesy post. I want to make a cheesy post too.
-
I'm gonna make a cheesy post now.
I'm not a touhou, or even a shmup, veteran. When I was young, I once beat the first loop of Super R-Type, but those skills have long abandoned me. Recently, I began a project, that would start small and build up - I'm not going to rest until I've beaten every Windows game, on every difficulty, with every shot type/character. (Sorry, PC98.) I got as far as nearing the end of PCB Easy before my computer imploded; I have had to start anew.
At first, I was upset. So much progress, lost forever. But time passed, and I cooled down, and I was able to accept my fate. Over yesterday and today - rather, yesterday and day before, now, it's 4AM as I type this - I rebeat EoSD Easy with all four shot types. And I thought I was done for now; I'd pick back up after I got some sleep.
I haven't gone to sleep just yet; I'm waiting on a download to finish. I figured I'd play a little PCB, refresh my memory of the earlier stages. So, I fired up PCB, set difficulty to Easy - yeah, I'm still new, but I'll catch up some day - picked ReimuA, and started.
I was half asleep. Sometimes, I had trouble focusing on the screen.
Somehow, this ended in what is the best run of Perfect Cherry Blossom I've had to date. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6332)
Sure, I can point at several spots in the replay and ask myself: What was I thinking? At the same time, I can also point to my first death - halfway through Stage 5, to the first fairies after midboss Youmu. I have never gone that far without a death before. And I can see some mistakes I made during the Yuyuko fight (including the second most retarded death of all the time I've spent playing - most retarded is still the time I bumped into Cirno during Icicle Fall -Easy-), but more importantly, I can point to one of them and say that won't happen again: I finally realized an easy way to do Repository of Hirokawa -False Soul-.
I finished with two lives and two bombs. Doesn't sound like much, but it's my best record to date.
And I was half-asleep at the time.
-

Oh, hello Bjw. Nice to see you again!!
Oh and, congrats Krim! You're the third western player then!!!
The accomplishment is awe-inspiring. In my attempts at it i have never gotten further than 3-deaths. Its not just being able to capture it. Its being able to keep up with the pace for two freakin' minutes...
Hat's off to you. (Especially considering that Veronica and Kefit had about 2-3 years of experience before pulling off their stunts irrc).
Then again, years of active playing doesn't seem to have much to say in most cases. Just look at that Jaimer guy. Talk about a fast-learner.
Then there is me, a slow-poke. Took me about six months before clearing IN extra very horribly! :V
-
Whew, MS Hard 1cc. Got it on my first try in a while xD Well, considering I managed PCB Lunatic, I suppose MS Hard isn't that much, but dear god, Yumeko and Shinki are hard as hell @_@ Finished 0/0 in the end, I had maybe ONE death with bombs in stock =/
Also, Serafie, a good portion of how to get good at Touhou quickly is to have no life xP It took me about a week of LOTS of playing to go from barely 1ccing PCB Hard to doing the same with Lunatic. Of course, considering that I had a lot of time where I didn't play Touhou at all, it's especially surprising for me... I wonder what would have happened if I'd just continuously played Lunatic constantly to increase my skill? xP
EDIT: Remembering stuff wrongly, it only FELT like it was just a week. Turns out it was closer to three weeks <_<; Meh, whatever, still pretty good, especially since I didn't do the constant playing until I realized that I was coming pretty close to beating PCB Lunatic.
-

WRONG. MS Hard is resource-draught. There is almost no lives in it and Yumeko and Shinki are merciless.

Go for Lunatic! I beat it before I beat PCB!
And someone get Sodium and Azinth in here so I can break their bodies and consume their souls. Goddamn Shuuso Gyoku.

Look (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8m2LJwf4Xnc) at my spellcard history. :V

And I have a life a bit
thank you very much. :P
Also the reason I'm so fast is that I like to be a rebel and skip hard completely. :V
-
Well the cold fact is just that some people get better faster than others. That's only natural. There are slow-pokes (the Zengeku class - seriously need someone else who is slow. Please admit it if you are being slow. I don't wanna be alone...) and the cheetahs (The Ghaleon, Krim, Jaimers etc. class)
Its not really a question of how much life people have... even though that Baity guy obviously doesn't have any of that 'life' quantity. :D

I'd be one of those slow ones. I haven't achieved a 1cc on any Normal mode except EoSD so far...but then again, I've only played EoSD, PCB, and IN out of the shmups.
Speaking of IN, I have successfully captured all Easy Mode spellcards. ...And then I decided to go on an Extra run just to see how I'd do, and fell to Mokou's third card. Pretty good for my current level, I think.

theshim: I usually score whore for absolutely no reason, so the midboss' first phase second part is usually hell for me. Also, for Marisa's last phase, you can kill the clone before it shoots if you shotgun it(it always goes to the middle after going to the side), although it's pretty tricky to do.
Krim: Nice. Congrats on being the third to do that.
...I'll get back to trying to do what you just did after I beat the crap out of either Reimu or VIVIT.

Watched Heartbeam's replay where he had 370m even though he missed a ton of cards(including the snake one :V) and copied one movement which gave me 14m extra points.
(http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/8130/th030.jpg)
Failed only Blue UFO and Yorimasa Genzanmi(so close yet again....like 2 seconds), rest was captured.
I'll get you one day. All of you spellcards.
-
Not even 6 months, all windows hard and 1 lunatic done....guess I'm somewhere in the middle.
That's still pretty fast. I guess people's mentality about things are important factors as well. For an eternity, i played easy mode and normal mode with slow-mo and was having fun with that. Watched some vids on Youtube with extra clears and that stuff. Obviously those guys were japanese! Because that's what every good shmup player is...
Then suddenly i figure out that i stand a chance at IN Extra and clear it. Then i go forever with random normal mode playing, clearing an extra stage every now and then. Then i sloooooooooooowly move up to hard mode and yeah, the rest is history.
I guess my biggest problem might be lack of confidence and patience. I'd usually go attempt something. Try very little at it and then decide that i'm not ready for it yet. I hate that.

Well, I somehow managed to reach Orin's ghost wheels on SA Hard @_@ I guess I'll just have to keep trying, maybe I can manage to get a 1cc... Somehow...

Just captured Marisa's Last Word, Blazing Star, without using any unfocused movement. I did do unfocused movement after it was captured though.
I don't know if I could have gotten back to the other side at the end either, so I went to the bottom corner and hoped for the best.

Inspired by Jaimers (jealousy of being able to perfect that horrific stage...rising...), I perfected Ichirin again. If it weren't for the horrible second blue spam being freaking impossible I wouldn't consider a perfect impossible for myself.

死ぬがよい >:(
After FINALLY getting CtC to work, I discovered...that the game is just as half-baked as I remember it being. I sightread 1cc'd Marisa B normal 0/0, many of those deaths being because of this game's delightful tendency to spawn bullets on top of you. Maybe I've just been spoiled by ZUN's danmaku, but this...just isn't my thing. :| I wanna fight white Reimu on lunatic though~ I had to lol at the time limit because without even trying hard or knowing how the scoring system works I had 8 minutes to beat her.
-

Make that 8 seconds on lunatic if you do not gain any additional Hakurei points. :V
Just to warn you, some of her attacks are utter garbage on lunatic, especially her second to last card. You have like 2 seconds here to navigate an extremely dense wave of bullets to reach the corner of the screen before you can kiss your ass goodbye. Also lol Mokou's rings of doom.
Still, I reckon a 1cc won't take too long. I almost did it on my first serious attempt without much practice at all and that was one hell of a bombspam.
-
The talk of CtC is making me want to go back and play it (a while back, I toyed around with the idea of getting a youtube-worthy run of S4). However, the game reminds me how bad it is to be obsessive about things; I don't feel like playing it because everyone's names starting from Ran are broken for some odd reason (Ran is named "%", Yukari is named "Power Up", and I believe either Youmu or Yuyuko is named "RETRY?").
Such a stupid reason for me to not play it, because I like it otherwise (aside from Spell Practice being lame due to Danmakufu load times, but if I pretend it's not there, it's all good, since 90% of the series doesn't give you that luxury in the first place).
-
I'm not good at writing cheesy posts ...
It's been 3 and a half months since I got brutally raep'd by UFO Easy, and now I could survive ALL sort of attacks in UFO S6 Lunatic (not in one run of course ...) and A 2ND EXTRA CLEAR :V
2nd attempt at Suwako today. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6354) (I, uhh ... kinda cheated on the first attempt, but upon viewing the replay, I only lost all of my lives at Suwa War, which led me to do this run). Should've done better (fairy, Mishaguji-sama, etc.) ... but it's a clear anyway.
The skill down is gone. Wheeee :V

Uhm... that's not supposed to happen at all. :V
I think some of your files are corrupt.
Also you can get a standalone spellpractice at the creaters' website. This one eliminates all loading times and adds a new last word for every character.
-
Gave up on Yukari's myself. Getting hit by a barbed wire bat in the face is less painful than that.
That's probably true but it can't possibly be worse than Reimu's.
-
It is worse than Reimu's. You have to do perfectly for about 4-5 times as long as you do on Reimu's. Can't remember what the timer on it was.
I can only capture the part that was in PCB. I die to the first new wave.
Did a 1 bomb run on Mystia earlier. Too bad I'm not consistent enough to do it again. I'm definitely getting better at her. Still need some work on Keine's spells though.

Screw the rest of the game, I really want to fight white Reimu for personal reasons. Is there a way to just unlock everything for lunatic stage practice?
-
Just captured Devil's Recitation at 1.00 power. That's pretty cool.
-
All this talk of CtC makes me want someone to Youtube the full last-spell sequence, since my machine hates applocale and anything to do with Danfumaku.

Funny story: everything for lunatic was already unlocked when I got back to the game after, I dunno 4 months of not playing it? I don't remember ever clearing stage 6 lunatic before. There was no previous gamedata when I got the game either.
I had reset the savedata so you wouldn't cheat, sorry. :X
All this talk of CtC makes me want someone to Youtube the full last-spell sequence, since my machine hates applocale and anything to do with Danfumaku.
I will definitely try this. So far the biggest obstacle is her fourth last spell. I just can't find the gaps, it's extremely luck-based it seems.
I find her final one the easiest. :V
-
YES. Tried a serious UFO Extra and got all the way to Undefined Darkness. This is entirely possible :V
-
I had the brilliant idea last night to play something not called UFO Hard, so I decided to do a blind run of PCB-- I haven't played it in months now, and I've forgotten most everything about it.
Bahahahahahaha (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6358)
Also, through the power of bombspam, I played PCB Extra for the first time in over a year and I somehow got to the noncard after Unilateral Contact. Wheeeeeeeeeee.
-
Caught all of White Reimu's last spells in a row on CtC!
Hard mode though because I suck.
No seriously, the lunatic cards are annoying as fuck, especially her second and fourth.
The second is OHGOD backshots and the fourth is LOLCLIPDEATH with occasional walling for good measure.
Should I upload this to youtube? I'm kind of hesitant because it's, meh hard mode, but doing the same thing on lunatic seems very unlikely.
Oh yeah, how do you get rid of the "demo play" on screen during replays again?
-
So is there a way to download a score.dat or whatever CtC uses or what?
Also, nice job Ruro~ I bet you could beat PCB extra with just a little more effort.
-
So is there a way to download a score.dat or whatever CtC uses or what?
I honestly have no idea, just go through it once on lunatic. You don't even have to beat the timer to unlock stage 6 anyway.
-
Woah, hold on a second. Did I just beat Flan? (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6361)
Needless to say, I'm thrilled that I cleared my first Extra stage, and to make it better, I made it past QED even though I have never played against it before.
I'm.. at a loss for words right now. I just can't believe that I made it, even after screwing up on some parts.

And so I'm not double-posting, I just perfected Koishi. Not SA extra as a whole though (g.d. Bumper Rice Crop) but the Koishi fight was no deaths, no bombs and I finished with the max 6 lives in stock.
-
I still say this counts as an accomplishment:
I did my presentation in my Music course today on Suwa Foughten Field. :V
I was going to do Lullaby but decided with about 2 hours to do SFF instead.
-
Downloaded Mountain of Faith this afternoon, all Easy stages perfected with ReimuB. The only one that took some serious practice was Stage 6, no thanks to the unusually dense arrays of bullet patterns pretty much everywhere in the level.

Sounds pretty cool. What about the song did you present?
-

Basically just broke it down into its component pieces, talked about stuff like key (SFF jumps around), structure, balance, stuff like that. The course is focusing on classical stuff, so there isn't a whole lot of overlap between the two. :D

Join the club. I actually don't give a damn about it because I don't feel like letting success hinge on whether or not Peerless Wind God feels like being nice to me (not to mention that, because of Peerless Wind God and my refusal to practice the stage because of it, I'm not exactly consistent on a lot of other parts of the stage either).

See, I should be angry that this happened, but now that I know why this happened I can only laugh:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYdvLrM8cOU
I managed to erase my Mystic Square data. After thinking and experimenting I realized what I did: After exiting the game a couple weeks ago I got bored and wondered if you could actually do anything in the command prompt. Putting my limited DOS knowledge to the test and entering "dir" to bring up any available files, it actually did bring up a number of them. I entered a few of them in, got no response and shut off the emulator. Well, turns out one of them I tried was "reset." Well, guess what that did? :V
But then this got me thinking. In this video, there was a picture of Shinki. In fact, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that more complete than her in-game art? So what would happen if I did this in other games? Reseting my Lotus Land Story data (after backing it up this time of course), a similar screen popped up and who else would greet me than:
(http://i46.tinypic.com/20rp92p.png)
Holy shit, Gengetu has full-body art. Full body art obscured by that pesky logo, but still...awesome! Now I wonder if there's anything else interesting to be found in the other three games by doing this...

That makes every stage in EoSD lunatic/extra beaten no deaths. :D I'm still waiting for someone else to manage Remi (well there's Phar but he doesn't count :V)
As for how this run was different, I don't know. I bombed only when it was obvious I would die otherwise (all three instances in the replay showed me completely cornered). I say the biggest factor for pulling this off was me giving up hope once I was forced to use a bomb on ATWTBN and deciding to "go out with style on Q.E.D" (I thinking the same thing on my ancient "epic phantasm clear"). And yes, you can't tell because of the speedup, but I really was focus dancing that entire time out of celebration. ;D And then the results screen had the gall to say I DID die once, probably because I deathbombed once.
-

I no-bombed the stage with four deaths a few times, which technically has the same margin for error as a 1LC. Except it looks manlier. 8)
And it's easier but no-one needs to know that. >_>
-
MoF Normal story beaten with ReimuB, spending about half-an-hour on Stage 6 alone. Took much less time than for me to pass Stage 4 Normal the first time (I'll stop here as what would follow belongs in the rage thread).
On the side, MoF Stages 1, 2, 3, and 5 Normal perfected with ReimuB. I feel like I'm getting a bit better at "macro" movement by playing this game, with its Faith-based gameplay calling for me to collect items and use the POC the old-fashioned way a lot more than in SA.

Rikako is top tier, folks. I mean THROUGH THE ROOF, INTO THE SKY top. Took me two attempts while suffering from sleep deprivation. Rikako can and will out-bullshit anyone, and eats Chiyuri alive.
Apparently I hit PRINTSCREEN before the final stage bonus finished counting into the final score. :V
Also:only one death = three or four less rounds played than the average = the score didn't make it into my top ten (which is cluttered with Kana failures) :V

Awesome. Congrats on being the first one outside of Japan to do this without using either Reimu or Yumemi. \o/
Did you manage to do it on camera?
-
Did you manage to do it on camera?
I honestly didn't think I'd get it so quickly, so I wasn't recording - you might have noticed that my PoDD videos stutter a bit.... well, that's what I get in-game when I run both the emulator and the recording software. And there is also the matter of needing to play windowed. So yeah, I wasn't willing to add another layer of difficulty without first knowing what I was getting into.
Of course, now that I know that it is perfectly doable, I'll record and upload a run as soon as possible. There are some minor differences in how to play Rikako due to her slooooooow charge speed, but in the end it doesn't hinder her in the slightest once you know what you're doing. Baity mentioned that Kana often falls victim to her own boss attack, since you have to dodge everything getting reflected back at you all at once; the AI gets a taste of this when facing Rikako. The whole freakin' time. :V
-
It's a shame Kana's virtually impossible to beat lunatic with, because I like her movement. BTW, Ebarrett isn't the first to beat lunatic without Reimu or Yumemi; Ruro is like the SECOND person to beat it outside of Japan period and she did it with Marisa.

Honestly, I have no idea what I do to do what I do.
I guess when you reach a certain level of skill, these kind of things will follow up very quickly.
Knowing the stages and patterns and being able to clear them consistently helps a great deal.
For pure dodging, playing PoFV and PoDD is a great way to improve your skills in that area. So does StB BTW.

It was a long and hard journey, a journey few people have managed to survive. I've known the taste of defeat and failure. But still, I kept going. I was not going to back down.

Congrats man. You're the fourth, right? I wonder how many more people will be motivated to get a perfect VoWG time-out after seeing you and Krim.

MoF Normal 1cc, lasted with two extra lives remaining. Certainly much easier than SA Normal, thanks to better bombs.
Also, I'm beginning to understand why people love Kanako's final card so much. It's really helping me improve my control over larger movements, as opposed to just grazing everything (something SA hasn't been able to teach me yet), plus it's fun as hell weaving past all those walls.

A little over two days after downloading it, MoF Hard cleared for the first time using ReimuB, and my first Hard clear of any Touhou game. Stage 6 took WAYYYYY longer than it should have, much longer even than Stage 4 (believe it or not, VoWG was not the primary culprit, though I did game-over on it several times; I blame the stage, which feels more like a manic shooter than a bullet hell at this difficulty, and me wanting to enter Kanako without dying beforehand).
Now I can sleep...

I just captured Mima's final phase.
Ye heard me. It was with Next (for save scumming), so there was a ludicrous amount of slowdown, but due to the circumstances I don't think you could attribute my win to that. I discovered two important things about this phase:
The infamous wall, rather like stage 5 Yuka's last phase, is meant to trick you into thinking you can fit through the center. Nay, you must fit through the sides. Still annoying due to the hitboxes of the bullets, but entirely doable at least.
Much more amusing: You know that part of Mima's final phase where she fires a 100% random attack that is one of the only cool-looking attacks in the game? It has a blind spot. We're not talking obscure, "move into her sprite" kind of blind spots, we're talking move right a bit and the attack will never hit you. Through save scumming this over and over, I have determined that even though this rather conspicuous section of the screen is always free of bullets, the attack is not static and otherwise really is completely random. This means that ZUN must have programmed it to never shoot at this spot. o_O Once you eliminate those two attacks the only threat is the second one which is a streaming attack on steroids due to the large hitbox bullets being used.
tl;dr: Mima's fight somehow got even more badly designed.
-
Well that attack can take anywhere from several thousands of attempts to a few hundred attempts. My experiments with it have revealed that luck can get you out of many sticky situations.
Now, look at me go - cannot control my jealousy. Good work!

Half Past 2 Lunatic (again), FOUR tries.
Also random First Pyramid, General Headquarters' Crisis and Keine's Last Spell captures :V
-
Captured Game of Rising on lunatic, first try. Couldn't save a replay, though, as I had already used a continue on Marisa. :V

YES!
I figured out how to record pc-98 fullscreen!
This is going to make everything so much easier. :D
http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/8914/fullscreenactionbaby.jpg
Use these settings and make Hypercam record the topleft corner of the screen with 640 by 400.
EDIT:
EXACT COORDINATES
X-0, Y-35
Width-640 Height-400
GO GO GO
*looks at coordinates*
*checks my own*
*sees that "x" is at 600*
Ooh, so THAT'S why my PC-98 videos always cut a bit off from the right (not that it matters since during the main that area is black anyway). Just tested and it works fine. Thanks. :V
-
Just captured my 16th Last Word. Profound Field.
Guess which one I'm missing
Total Purification.
Damn it Keine.
-
2-death, no bombs run of MoF Stage 6 Normal. Both deaths were during Kanako, but neither during her last two cards. The first was the result of an experiment during her third non-spell, so I'm not worried about that one. But "Misayama Hunting Shrine Ritual", why are you so hard in all your randomness? At least I'm getting more consistent on "Miracle of Otensui" and "Mountain of Faith", so if I can get lucky on her thrid spell, I may pull off a perfect run.
-
SA Easy ReimuC Unfocused Pacifist - game over on Stage 5 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6413).
Not too impressive, but Ruro challenged me to try this and it seemed like fun. Two of my three deaths were to Yuugi (I think this is the first time I've ever died on Hell's Ring of Pain). :V
-
Which character?
The only good one...
Don't worry Banana. I have not completely owned you. I did it with SanaeB - the good girl. I did capture all spellcards though which is nice no matter what character you are using. I actually think i could have boosted the score much if i collected UFO's at the end of the stage but i didn't feel like risking to have to restart as that would blow ass.
Seriously - that stage is the embodiment of annoyance. I don't know how you can bring yourself to play that stage as Marisa. Granted, she was the one who helped me to beat Nue for the first time but ever since i found out about SanaeB being so darn effective on the stage, i have always used her. Characters who trivialize ex-stages are always such a godsend.
-
Total Purification capture.
All 17 Last Words captured. That leaves only some Lunatic cards uncaptured on Imperishable Night.
-
Well - just captured Hourai Jewel - Lunatic. Two times actually. First time was with Scarlet Team with whom i took 13 attempts. Then i did it with the border team with whom i took 11 attempts.
Pretty bad spellcard. Its a matter of timing. To be honest, i don't really like any of Kaguya's cards. I guess i'll join Banana in the "Eirin is the better boss" club.
If such a club doesn't exist, then maybe we should start one eh Banana? ;)
-
I download a score.dat to try practicing the spells after Buddhist Diamond and
How are you supposed to do Hourai Jewel? I tried horizontal streaming but can only switch directions successfully once or twice. Trying vertically, I don't even get to turn around since I can't figure out how it works like that.
Lifespring Infinity isn't as fair as I thought it was compared to Hard, and Salamander Shield is still a joke.
Unfortunately, said score.dat only had Final B unlocked for crappy magic team.
-
The stage isn't that bad IMO. But Kogasa is >:(
Eirin has a lot of BS cards just like Kaguya does, but Hourai Jewel is a much longer card while Entombing is a matter of 40 seconds and is very capturable.
Look at Sapz' first 1cc - entered midboss Eirin with 5 spare lives, finished 0/0. I've lost 6 lives to Kaguya before.
Eirin takes maybe 2 lives on a decent run.
-
Lunatic Keine No Deaths (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6419)
Failed the Last Spell though because I don't have it memorized.
-
Nearly 1cced EoSD Lunatic, but the realized I would have done it if not for dying twice to Cirno for no good reason at all.
-
MoF Stage 6 Normal perfect run (ReimuB). (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6421)
Yeahyuhz. Got lucky on the third card, and after that I knew it was (almost) in the bag - "Mountain of Faith" is not that hard anymore.
-
I hate that third spellcard. It's the only one I haven't legitimately captured in MoF Normal.
-
Spent 2 hours and a half spamming UFO extra runs. :V
Also figured out a route(read: copied it from heartbeam) which doesn't take 100 attempts to get it right.
-
(http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/9844/soew1cc.png)
SoEW lunatic 1cc. This game is as easy as it is annoying. Thankfully it only took me three attempts. And in the first I continuespammed like crazy because I had only played it twice before, on normal mode, a long time ago, with each of these two runs being months apart from each other, and not very enlightening at all.
-
Captured "Resurrection Butterfly -30% Reflowering-", which is the only one of Yuyuko's cards that I've captured on Normal >>;
-
(http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/4590/llsextra.png)
This took longer than it should. Ended 3/0 after never having made it past Gengetu Spark before.

I'm not sure where this belongs, but I suppose it's an accomplishment since it's the closest I've ever gotten and likely ever will (no death runs of extra stages aren't my style, perfect runs of anything above stage 3 is my poison). SA lunatic stage 6 no bombs one death. The fact that I didn't see a SUN BULLET coming at me until it was too late makes me unsatisfied with that death on Uncontainable Nuclear Reaction. :\
http://yfrog.com/j3llsextrap
See, the fact that Gengetu's in LLSextra makes the humorous coincidence even better.

HOLY FLIPPIN PENIS
I'M CONSISTENT ON GRUDGE BOW
-
Scored two one-death/no-bomb runs on MoF Stage 4 Normal. How did I die both times? Clipped a bullet on "Illusionary Dominance" with 1 or 2 seconds left. Sounds rage-worthy, I know, but at the same time I'm getting more consistent on everything else, which of course is a good thing. If I can just get lucky on "Illusionary Dominance" and to some extent "Crossroads of Heaven", I could very well pull this off.
-
IN extra clear, my first extra! I even got Imperishable Shooting for the first time, though I died on the second wave because I didn't move down to the bottom.
Oh, I'd like to take this moment to point out how awesome Hourai Doll is. I used to hate it, but now it's probably one of my favorite spells ever.
Edit: I just realized that I finished with two lives left. I did a lot better than I thought, but I wasn't paying attention to anything besides the bullets, since I was shaking so much.

Q: Do you know how does the AI dodge Yumemi's boss summon's aimed crosses?
(http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/7580/yumemi1cc.png)
A: NOT VERY WELL, LIKE, AT ALL
Seriously, it's almost as bad as Shikieiki's laser, only that it always spawns on top of their hitbox. The AI does try to run away most of the time, but it doesn't do it right and ends up squished between two crosses more than 90% of the time.
Also, new high score :V
-
Timeout on LftFD. When I viewed my replay, I made some "what the hell" dodging at some moments.

Slash becomes loleasy after getting used to the Last Words. Blue has a higher capture count than I remembered. And Raindrops ? :V
I think I captured that thing three times in a row at the very bottom of the screen.

lol you failed mysterious snake show

Yamato Torus captured with MarisaB (bug disabled via vsync, of course) unfocused. :V

This (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=4351.0) thread reminded me that I never 1cc'd SA lunatic again after I got my new computer so I could throw away those nagging feelings of "what if it was because of the slowdown even though the slowdown was nothing but malicious?" So here you go, first time after successfully passing Kisume. :V It's a pretty sloppy run since I don't like SA that much, but the game thankfully has a large margin of error.
-
This thread moves pretty damn slow when I'm not around :V
Anyway...
Mystical Chain All Clear with all Teams on Lunatic. I would say 1cc, but I messed up Alice's last Spell Card with that Last Phase. It seriously looks like there are no openings at all.
Now, back to my musings.

Can't wait until you come back. The only person I have to beat the snot out of my self-esteem at the moment is Jaimers. :(

Well, i have failed Mysterious Snake Show too. It just, you know, kinda happened. Also, congratulations on that Marisa run. I don't know why you insist on using her though. SanaeB is much superior. Also, Banana. When you are using MarisaA - Blue UFO's are easy.
EDIT:
Just went for a little testing. Using Marisa for extra seems completely ilogical to me! You'd need someone with some decent range! Well, that's up to you of course, but i prefer to play the stage as SanaeB because she kicks ass. No, she isn't overpowered. She's just right. And i really don't want handicaps for UFO Extra. :)
Oh and i seem to semi-consistently no-death Shou on Hard!!
-
This thread moves pretty damn slow when I'm not around :V
Alright, let me put it in second gear then. :V
Managed to channel Phar for a moment and captured both Scarlet Meister and Scarlet Gensokyo in the same run. It's too bad I didn't record it though. :'(
Also managed to perfect EX Alice. Unfortunately I had an extremely derp dead on the stage goddamnit.
Should I upload the fight on youtube as a preview for the perfect extra stage?

I actually think that SanaeB is underpowered since I hate chars without a strong frontal shot.

Phantasm perfect clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6450). No deaths, no bombs, no borders broken, and no safespots.

That's awesome Sapz. Yukari's too daunting for me to even want to try beating no deaths, especially with Marisa's small amount of bombs.
...Oh yeah, I forgot. Yesterday while randomly fighting Alice I beat her no deaths, no bombs, one border broken on her opener. I seem to be getting "close to perfecting but not quite" a whole bunch of people lately. >_> Alice, Yuyuko, Kanako, Utsuho, EX Alice, Gengetu...I've beaten all of them with only one mistake.

Way to not let that (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6449) get in your way. I would have promptly thrown my controller through a window and not touched the stage for another year after that (I believe it's been... 9 months since my failed Perfect SA Extra on Subterranean Rose, and about 9 months since I tried the stage).
Edit: Since it's been so long, I decided to try SA Extra again. After reminding myself how to no-border the post-Sanae spam, I pulled a one-death on, of all things, Release of the Id (by the way, I'd entirely forgotten about Koishi's heart bullets when the "Difficult Bullets" thread came up). If nothing else, failing that early gave me an excuse to capture Youkai Polygraph while doing a focus dance to Hartmann's Youkai Girl.
-
I've near-perfected Nue a few times too - the biggest obstacle is the increasing nervousness.....takes a lot of practice and confidence to not ram the final cards out of sheer stupidity.
That means, do Nue unless you already have. She is eeeeeeeeasy :V
-
That's awesome Sapz. Yukari's too daunting for me to even want to try beating no deaths, especially with Marisa's small amount of bombs.
Thanks~ She may not be as good as Reimu for no deaths, but she's probably the best for a perfect run, I think. Having said that, though, I think she's still one of the easier shot types to no death clear it with - the high attack really helps on things like DDB and BoLaD, plus there's the truckload of borders you get. :V

Nue is easy, it's the pre-Nue red bullet section that gets me. Having said that I've tried UFO Extra with someone who wasn't ReimuA all of maybe three or four times, so maybe I should look into that. :V

Cute excuse there... well you should just stick to her then. That way, i won't come around and beat your score - being the douchebag that i am. :V
Also, yes the red UFO is trivial, but to my own embarassment, i have failed the card trying to end it quickly with forward shot characters. :( As late as today as a matter of fact - had i just played well against Nue today Banana - I'd probably have your record beaten by 50 mil. I was playing as Marisa.
Also - I was recently close to perfecting Byakuren Hard. She is not that hard to me anymore.
But Devil Recitation or whatever - i hate that card. Not always but sometimes it just hits me with a laser or the arrowhead waves. I don't like that.
-
Use MarisA :V
The red bullets are just macrododging for the first few waves then streaming.

Well, Zengeku would like to admit that his earlier statement wasn't really calculated at all. I just took a wild guess. I think it was around 200M at the stage so i wouldn't be able to beat your 370M+ was it with an additional 50M. That was pretty far off actually. And ironically enough i game overed at Blue UFO. And i know how to tackle the red UFO - i just messed up is all.
I did capture all of Kogasa's stuff anyway. I usually restart if i don't. That can get annoying!

Its annoying when that happens don't ya think? Also... what's your thoughts about the start of the stage? I find it really annoying with Marisa as i constantly am making an effort to shoot the enemies, pick up the items and avoid dying at the same time. Picking up all point items there should give about 2.5 M alone. SanaeB just trivializes that.
Btw. I just made it up to 402M. It was 401M before. And i "somehow" failed her first spellcard and more understandable Undefined Darkness (dumb spellcard). I think that i can with a little effort get to 450M.

That is good stuff Banana - i actually think you can seize the MoTk 1st place on the scoring board.
EDIT: Oh, you saw that already. Really, all the scores are pathetic. Not one above 300 million and my first clear is still around. I think i'll shoot for 2nd place then! Tomorrow. If Heartbeam sees this he'll take the spot though. ( i think...)
-
The thing is that the scores aren't updated - I've posted a 300m one, then Heartbeam responded with 370m, so I've got 372m, he got 380m and I'm now leading by 1m again.

Thanks Jaimers, and congrats yourself, that's pretty sweet. I think I'll have to attempt that seriously over the holidays... I've managed a 1 death 0 bomb run before, and I think you can guess which attack killed me. :V

I told myself this would be the last time before I quit for the night. I'm glad I decided on one more run. Blegh...
Anyway, the REAL accomplishment is that low score. :V
As for copying Jaimers and trying to perfect, fat chance even if I did have the patience. I have determined that the first half of the stage is virtually impossible to beat without bombing if you use Yuka. On two attempts tonight I actually made it to the midboss, but I had to bomb anyway because the enemies simply do not stop firing until they are off the screen.

Congrats! Now you're getting it. :P
It may not seem like it now, but if you can manage that, a perfect Extra or two might be soon to follow. :V
-
Oh, I get it alright. Tonight reminded me very well why I NEVER do this. Only a combination of me getting very close last night and Jaimers' perfect run fueled me to do this. I still hate doing no death extra runs as much as ever.
That said, the only ones left are Evil Eye Sigma, Yukari, and Nue. I think we all know which one I wanna do the most! That's right, next goal is SoEW extra no deaths! 8D

Check out what I did with the magic of 25% speed!
(http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/8444/lolcq.png)
This is probably about the best I can manage at my current level, but it still feels nice. Plus, it's still alright for training myself with Seihou's super-fast bullets. Even at 25% speed, they're hard for an Easy-Normal player like myself to manage.

You poor, poor bastard. I'll go notify the asylum for you, aye?
-
You might as well go for a perfect clear. You get a crappy amount of bombs anyway.

1 bomb, to be exact. Half the reason this stage is hard, especially considering bombs hurt the boss.
Unless there is an instage drop I'm forgetting.
-
You poor, poor bastard. I'll go notify the asylum for you, aye?
The sad thing? If it weren't for the stage there may have been a tone of seriousness in that post. One bomb for the whole stage is simply impossible. The only way to gain bombs is to either wait for the extremely rare random drop that you'll probably miss anyway or score whore on that one part of the stage and collect so many extra lives you get about two bombs extra because you max out on lives. That MIGHT be possible if I blow the single bomb I'm given on that section, but the whole thing is simply not something I want to do though it'd be great to get into the mood to continue writing my story
.
To make sure, I cleared the stage with Reimu C. She does a sick amount of damage and is probably the best choice for such an endeavor, but nothing close to a no death clear.
-
So I've gotten better with the Netherworld Team, and I can get as far as I can with the Border Team!
...which just means I game over at Marisa.
-
What difficulty?
I get farther with Netherworld Team than Border Team now on Lunatic. I 1cc'd Normal and Hard with Border Team though.
-
If it's not SA or UFO, it's almost certainly Lunatic. But I don't see myself as a Lunatic-level player, because the only "hard" one I've beaten is Mystic Square. MoF and PCB are just bomb-spam, LLS gives you a whole pile of resources, and SoEW is stupid anyway. And I still have yet to beat SA or UFO even on Hard.

Managed to channel Phar for a moment and captured both Scarlet Meister and Scarlet Gensokyo in the same run. It's too bad I didn't record it though. :'(
And Phar has been playing for like ... 5 years :V
also how do you have more captures on Blue than on Red :V
I always capture that thing if the UFOs spawn from the upper-left side of Nue :V

Recorded a lunatic Rikako 1cc. Uploading during the week. One derptastic loss to Chiyuri and two losses to Yumemi.
The first round vs. Yumemi lasted 8 minutes :V
-
Ah ha ha, wow. Playing MS lunatic for the first time in a while (with Yuka no less), I died twice in stage 2 and kept playing. Somehow I made it all the way to snake bullets before continuing. I was on track to perfecting the stage portion of stage 4, but then some enemies came from below and slammed into me. D= It's so unfortunate...Yuka's such a fun shot type, but her slow speed makes dodging some attacks next to impossible on lunatic. :( Certainly makes the diagonal kunai bullets in stage 4 a breeze at least.
Also, I wouldn't bet my life on my Japanese skills, but I think I just translated part of Yuka's bad ending:
Yuka: Huh...? Why did I lose? ...Yes... Clearly this is your fault! (who am I talking to?).
Oh Yuka. <3 I got sassed by Yuka AND listened to Shinto Shrine for the first time in a while. Best failure run ever.
-
3/287
Fuck. Yes.
-
Double Death Butterfly.
Boundary of Human and Youkai (in the same run).
Genealogy of the Sky-Born.
Yay ?
EDIT: Astronomical Entombing. 30 tries.
Yay.

Hah...hah...
I told myself this would be the last time before I quit for the night. I'm glad I decided on one more run. Blegh...
Anyway, the REAL accomplishment is that low score. :V
As for copying Jaimers and trying to perfect, fat chance even if I did have the patience. I have determined that the first half of the stage is virtually impossible to beat without bombing if you use Yuka. On two attempts tonight I actually made it to the midboss, but I had to bomb anyway because the enemies simply do not stop firing until they are off the screen.
Haha, congrats! May I inspire you even more in the future~ :V
I have seriously no idea how you scored that low, I wasn't even going for score and I had like double what you have. :V
As for SoEW extra. I would have gotten serious about that long ago if that green blob spam at the end of the stage wasn't so damn impossible. I wish thee luck!
3/287
Made me curious,
3/79
6/65
Guess that's something. :V
And Phar has been playing for like ... 5 years :V
This makes me curious about what I would be like in 5 years... :V
-
I am nintendonut888, lowest scorer in the wild west! ;) I have no idea how I score so low either, but it helps that I never get any points that don't mean something for me.
Also to be fair, many of those attempts had me autobombing Scarlet Meister because my aim was EoSD stage 6 no deaths.
-
Inspired by a comment by Zengeku, I pulled of a no-focus clear of MS extra stage.
Did it on my first non-serious attempt.
If I were to put in a bit more effort I could probably do a no-deaths, no-focus clear of the stage.
What made me laugh was that I still had more score than Donut, even though I ended 0/2 :V
-
MoF Stage 4 Normal perfected. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6467)
Yes! At laaaaast! [/Jafar] Took me long enough, no thanks to Aya's bullshit spells. I was also listening to this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC9M3Vf8MVg) when playing the level, just for a change of pace (I know, it's Aya's theme remixed, but it's still epic). I wonder if it helped any? At least listening to music from outside the game helps pass the time easier as I restart levels over and over and over again.
-
Just cleared Shikieiki's extra. Too bad the run sucked. Why didn't I clear it on the run where I got to Reimu with 4 spare lives and got an extend during it? I didn't even get the last extend this time.
Oh well, a clear's a clear, and I can now try Lunatic with Komachi and Shikieiki
-
It's been a while since I've played touhou, specially since Mushi arrived a week and half ago, I haven't touched the game, but even before, I wasn't playing much anymore.
I just 1cc'd 3 games on Hard without even trying.
EoSD, PCB and IN... All in a row o_o
Why can't I 1cc SA and UFO Hard =(
-
IaMP Normal 1cc with Patchouli! It's my first 1cc of the game, but I'm really irritated at the Suika battle. I lost a life because my computer decided HEY WANNA UPDATE THIS and gave Suika's second spellcard time to crush me :V
Why is this game so much harder than SWR/UNL :(
Also holy hell, Pandemonium. I knew about the HUD disappearing in advance but HOLY HELL, PANDEMONIUM.
-
Why can't I 1cc SA and UFO Hard =(
Because they're far tougher than PCB Lunatic?
-
Why can't I 1cc SA and UFO Hard =(
I had more trouble with UFO Hard than I did with PCB, IN, and SA Lunatic.
-
It's finished!
(http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/9762/scc.png)
Because of the function of the bubble bullets it's currently harder to supergraze Deadly Dance Easy than on any other difficulty. Not that much harder, it just needs a slight adjustment but three to one makes it the odd one out. Lyrica's opener even at max rank is nowhere near as difficult as I had initially feared.
-
Lyrica's opener even at max rank is nowhere near as difficult as I had initially feared.
...wait, but PCB doesn't have rank.
...right?
-
Serafie: It does, although it doesn't play a very large role compared to EoSD, or PC 98 games.
-
...wait, but PCB doesn't have rank.
...right?
It's attacks like Lyrica's opener that demonstrate that rank DOES exist in PCB. >.> Granted, I've never noticed it anywhere else in the game, but it definitely changes that attack into something much harder.
I had more trouble with UFO Hard than I did with PCB, IN, and SA Lunatic.
Why? I'm really not meaning to be condenscending, but I want to know why everyone has so much trouble with UFO hard. UFO lunatic I understand, but UFO hard isn't really any harder than your average hard mode.
-
UFO hard isn't really any harder than your average hard mode.
Yes it is! >:(
Because they're far tougher than PCB Lunatic?
I know >.< I've reached Yuyuko a few times but never had enough lives to beat her... Gave up on it a while ago..
Maybe I should try it again
-
UFO hard isn't really any harder than your average hard mode.
...What. The utter absurdity of this statement amazes me.
-
I'm kinda inclined to agree with 'nut. As much as hard mode slaughters me, I can usually at least make it past stage 1 without dying. Meanwhile, SA and PCB hard modes are nearly impossible for me to beat stage one without losing at least one life (largely due to both the stage and Yamame for SA and Cirno and Letty in PCB).
To its credit though, I DO have to use bombs every now and then (usually to Nazrin's midboss card), which is rarer than when I'm against ones like Wriggle and Miniroko (though Autumn Sky and a Maiden's Heart sometimes necessitates one as well). Rumia is an outright joke.
-
Maybe I should try it again
forget that, i just got my head handed to me during stage 3
-
UFO hard isn't really any harder than your average hard mode.
Lies. I played EoSD and PCB Hard today and 1cc'd both without breaking a sweat. My last attempt at UFO hard ended at Shou after getting smashed by Ichirin, Murasa and Stage 5 in that order.
-
UFO lunatic I understand, but UFO hard isn't really any harder than your average hard mode.
Man, really? Personally, I found UFO Hard as difficult as MoF or PCB Lunatic, if not moreso. Maybe even EoSD. Granted, I sucked pretty hard at UFO routes and such at the time, but still... in my opinion, it's easily the most difficult Hard mode. :V
-
In an unrelated note, I think I finally have EoSD stage 4 worked out.
Except for the last OMGWTF bullet spam before Patchy, which is easy with a bomb.

Damage the middle fairy until it's on the verge of death but don't kill it, then go to the left and kill each one from left-to-right. It takes some practice to get the timing down but that's all there is to it.
Unless of course you're using lolReimuA, in which case you can consider it an instabomb.
-
0/0 clear of MoF Stage 4 hard, while the up arrow on my keyboard was stuck. The left arrow stuck halfway into the Aya fight for added fun.
-
Finally beat Ran, after many many tries :V. Though I still can't 1cc anything on Normal. >_>
-
after getting smashed by Ichirin, Murasa and Stage 5 in that order.
Think about that for a minute. Can there be any other order (I imagine you're doing story mode)?
I'm afraid I can't really comment on how tough it is to 1cc any Hard Mode, let alone UFO's, since I haven't tried yet (and haven't played UFO yet). I'll at least have time over winter break to do legit practice.
-
I 1cc'd PCB normal :D, its my first no-continue clear of a touhou game as well!
-
I 1cc'd PCB normal :D, its my first no-continue clear of a touhou game as well!

as for myself, I just reached Utsuho hard...
something I hadn't done for months lol.. since i was trying to 1cc SA Normal >_>
-
:\
Maybe it's all my practice, but I really don't see why...I mean, with even a semi-planned UFO route you can easily nab 10 lives, and the danmaku, while above average, can still be fought with the same stuff that works in all the other games. I guess I'm just a freak, but it took me much longer to do PCB lunatic and SA lunatic compared to UFO lunatic.

Well, to be fair, you already had a shitton of experience in these kinds of games before you even touched UFO. Off course it's going to be somewhat easier if you already managed to 1cc the other games on lunatic.
As for me, I'd say the hardest was SA. I still remember thinking to myself how stage 4 hard could possibly get anymore hard on lunatic. It could actually... a lot more. :V
-

Well yeah, but what bugs me is that when the game came out even most other lunatic players were complaining about it being too hard (this is starting to subside somewhat thankfully).
Anyways:
(http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/1484/lowscorerdonutzuka.png)
MS lunatic 1cc with Yuka at last. I could have potentially done much better if I didn't hose up stage 2 (surprisingly difficult without Mima to rip through enemies before they can fire anything) or die with full bombs in stock to Yuki and Mai, or die to cheeto lasers from the remaining lasers after the attack ended...>_< Because of all these ghastly mistakes I ain't uploading this run.
And as for the score...I was making a conscious effort to get points
[size=9]:D[/size]
-
Finally got back to where I was before; EoSD and PCB Easy 1CCed with all shot types. (Gods, I hate PCB Sakuya.) Am now moving on to IaMP. (...I wonder if there's a Touhou Fire Emblem.)
-
1 million item value just before fighting Yuyuko! And it clearly have much much room for improvement as I didn't even successfully supergraze any of bunched red bullets post Lily white!
Screw that, 1 million just after Youmu fight! The run is still in process, my nerves are trembling. 2.07 Billion (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6477) Reimu B lunatic! I'm too excited!

AAAAGH
By request of Ruro, I capped all of Sikieiki's spells on StB. I failed so much times on the last three shots of Bar of the Ten Kings that I was considering giving up for a while. :(

IN lunatic 1cc, ended 0/0, shitty run, not feeling like posting a replay

Timed out Orin's Vengeful Cannibal's Spirit.
Timeout.
Orin.
:V
Then again it's her easiest spell card :(
-
just cleared UFO Extra for the first time.
That leaves only SoEW, LLS(without crappy T98-Next slowdown), MS(without crappy T98-Next slowdown), and SA Extras. And Shoot the Bullet, but I don't even have that one unlocked.
-
Well yeah, but what bugs me is that when the game came out even most other lunatic players were complaining about it being too hard (this is starting to subside somewhat thankfully).
It's just people complaining about the difficulty jump of Stages 2 and 3. Really. You get a breather for Stage 4 too.
:MS Lunatic 1cc:
And as for the score...I was making a conscious effort to get points
Yeah, Yuka's bomb does that. If you were truly going for score in MS you don't bomb at all

Did some theory last night. Without the games themselves to test it. I just realized that there is a very somewhat specific way for me to Perfect Stage 5 UFO Lunatic "consistently" ...and a way to do "Catwalk" with a lower chance of clipping yourself.
Of course, I need a tester.

I've been playing MoF Stage 5 on Hard lately, mainly since I've been in the mood for its music.
MoF Stage 5 Hard perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6480)
Wait...what? Did that just happen?
I call it a semi-fluke at this point, as I had to get lucky on a few parts (stares at Sanae's opener). But learning the main stage was straightforward stuff, and I also scored my first ever capture of Sanae's first spellcard (I swear, those are the thickest lasers I've ever seen). Luck or not, I'll take it.

I decided to play Perfect Cherry Blossom using SakuyaB for a change...
And somehow I 1cc it. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6487)
I mean, what is this I don't even
But that's four Normal clears under my belt now! Lotus Land Story, Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Phantasmagoria of Flower View, and Perfect Cherry Blossom! Now if I could just stop failing on Mountain of Faith (both the game and the spell card)...
-
I was bored one day, so I decided to screw around with IN spell cards for the lulz.
No focus, no movement timeout of Vocal Sign "Howl of the Horned Owl". (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMClCFg2byg)
(Oh wait, did Mystia get ⑨'d once again? o_O)

-
Did I just capture Scarlet Meister again?
Did I just capture Scarlet Meister ON CAMERA?
DID I JUST FUCK UP A PERFECT REMILIA FIGHT BY DYING TWICE ON SCARLET GENSOKYO?! DX
But whatever, that was a sweet capture, I'm totally uploading that. If the video comes out alright I'll think about doing this more often. Recording EoSD with Hypercam since it doesn't slow down the computer like Fraps does and doesn't cost a gigabyte per minute I mean.
-
That's not 100%. When I tried to time it out like that I got hit. I did get a capture like that, but that card is easy enough as is.
-
If you're referring to my video, I'll admit - it's not really a guaranteed safe-spot...but it took me about 16 tries to time it out without getting hit. Unlike bjw's Dragon Bullet timeout run...
On Easy and Normal, I can easily pull off the same tactic and time it out in one try (well, at least that's what happened to me), so it could possibly be a safe spot for those two difficulties. In my opinion, the safe spot in those difficulties, really, is where you're positioning (as long as you're somewhere in the bottom center area).
-
Wow, I can't believe it. After watching Phar's perfect UFO stage 6 run, I noticed his strategy for Byakuren's fourth non-spell and copied it. Holy crap this trivializes the whole attack and makes it so you can end it in about 20 seconds, I can't believe I never thought to stream the attack down at the beginning.

EoSD stage 6 no deaths. Three accomplishments recorded live all in the same day. I really don't know what to say. I'm just sad the magic can't happen on stage 4. Marisa A Patchouli on max rank is just impossible.
-
Fangame time.
Suck it, Splatterfaith. (http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/672/splatterfaithending4.png) (ending spoilers I guess) I think I'll extract this picture and use it as a reaction image, too.
-
Err ... rank ? :(
-
I think capturing Sakuya's opener should count as an accomplishment. That thing is brutal. It makes VoWG look tame.
-
Err ... rank ? :(
Rank is an invisible number that exists in EoSD (as well as PCB to an almost negligible extent) that affects bullet speed and density. It starts at 16, building to a max of 32 over time, and dropping by 16 every time you get hit. Basically: if you don't die, it pisses everyone off and they want you dead even more (except Remi, who can't want you any more dead than she does by default, since her last cards are unaffected by rank).
So when Donut tries to do a no-death run of EoSD Stage 4 MarisaA, he's going up against not only the most difficult Patchy battle, but with Patchy's most difficult cards being even more mean than they normally would be, due to having not died up to that point.
-
I think capturing Sakuya's opener should count as an accomplishment. That thing is brutal. It makes VoWG look tame.
I just did that. I realized that I NEVER use stage practice, so I decided to do some lunatics.
Captured all but one of Sakuya's cards shockingly (ZA WARUDO!) but sucked really, really bad on the noncards.
-
If you deathbomb in EoSD, the game counts it as a Miss on the end-of-game screen, but does it affect rank?
-
And bombing doesn't affect rank?
-
If it does affect rank, it's not enough to make a difference. I've deathbombed right before Patchy and her spell cards are just as rape as before.
-
1cc'd Kioh Gyoku twice. One with Muse (Fuck you Muse) and one with Yuka.
-
Are there even difficulties on that? I can't find them.
Oh, and I fail much harder at that than I do at Phantasmagoria. At least I can get far on PoFV Lunatic, and I sometimes gets far in PoDD Hard.
-
Are there even difficulties on that? I can't find them.
Do you think there's a reason why I didn't mention them? They don't exist at all. :V
-
Captured Rings of Death twice in a row. Still can't perfect the whole stage though because I keep getting hit by trivial things like Flaw of Forgiving Shrine. Seriously.
-
...

Ow, my self-esteem! D:
I've been trying this myself as well lately, still no luck. It doesn't help that in 50% of my attempts I don't even reach Remilia because I always try to capture Eternal Meek, which most of the time ends with a clipdeath.
Managed to almost capture Scarlet Meister unfocused though, guess that's something. :V
Also I thought that that Byakuren thing was common knowledge as well. :V
Although I don't do that risky as hell way Phar circled her. The attack is actually pretty static, you can dodge it the same way everytime.
-
MoF Normal 1cc ... again. This time made it with 2 lives to spare (blame my over-confidence) :V
-
Just defeated Story of Eastern Wind's Ex Cirno.
lol, good luck to anyone trying to no death or perfect it. Ex Cirno is BS.
-

o/ :V
Her only BS spell is really her last, this thing is fucking impossible. The rest are pretty doable seeing as I have captured them all several times.
The stage gives you like 6 bombs to work with, so a no death run is I think is not impossible.
I do need at least 3 bombs for her final though...

I know I started circling a bit too late in that run, but is there a better way to do it?
-
Captured VoWG on Hard for the first time. And this is after not even getting this far in the level since I beat it in story mode a week ago. I guess it helps that the amulets don't overlap until near the end - otherwise it plays just like its Normal counterpart (only faster).
-
I know I started circling a bit too late in that run, but is there a better way to do it?
Here, have a timeout. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6490)
I do pretty much the same as you, except I play it a bit safer during the circling.
Please disregard everything else, this was my worst performance on the stage ever. I didn't even clear it.
:V
-
MoF Stage 3 Hard perfected (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6492), after God knows how many tries (I'm surprisingly inconsistent on midboss Nitori). Had to make a few modifications to my "sweetspot height" approach for Nitori's last spell, as well as resigning to a "don't move much" attitude there, but at least I have a reason to take a quick break from Touhou now.
-
Hrm?
Which one(s)? Either way I'll put both down.
For the last wave of enemies for UFO Stage 5, use ReimuB. Start from the top-center (or a bit to the side if you so wish), focus, shoot and move down. After destroying exactly 3 orbs on one side, stop shooting, unfocus and move down partly close to the bottom.
Unfortunately, nothing new came up with other shot types at this point. The best ones are probably AM's and yukarin's (which I have copied for quite some time now) if I'm not mistaken.
"Catwalk" is still difficult no matter what way you try to approach it, but some methods of approaching this are definitely better than others. However, I do recall that I had a much greater chance for suvival when I moved a bit to the side. If you can get a screenshot uploaded of all the rings out (or quite a number of them) then I can show you where to dodge, and how much "attention" you should be giving each ring. Do PM please so I don't lose track of it.
Wow, I can't believe it. After watching Phar's perfect UFO stage 6 run, I noticed his strategy for Byakuren's fourth non-spell and copied it. Holy crap this trivializes the whole attack and makes it so you can end it in about 20 seconds, I can't believe I never thought to stream the attack down at the beginning.
This is why you need to pay more attention to my replays :V
Self-Esteem Spoiler: I've been doing that for 1-2 months now
.
Some experiments in Mystical Chain have shown me that I can take out Remi and Flan in about 4-5 minutes optimally, and a "method" of doing "Forbidden P" in one go. Of course, I think that it's an abuse.
By the way, I feel I should point this (http://replays.gensokyou.org/index.php?u=&g=--&p=&t=--&d=--&ch=128) out after deciding to browse the replay lists.

HRtP easy 1cc yay!

If I hadn't died twice with bombs in stock and stopped making stupid mistakes I might have actually have pulled this of.
EDIT:
Just did it again. Made it a great deal through GRT. If I had one more life (which I wasted) I would have done it.

Powered through UNL Arcade mode with Utsuho again. Her 5 and 6 C are completely ridiculous (though it's interesting to note that Patchy's fireball is actually stronger than Utsuho's 5C, and may be the strongest attack in the game in terms of piercing).

Does it beat the Reisen's alternative laser (Eyesight Cleaning) that makes the bullet DISAPPEAR ? (tssss I can't play SWR story mode with Reisen, I have been playing with UNL reisen for too long)
-
In this run of LLS, three highlights:
I capture the stage 4 midboss on max rank, but it's a hollow victory because the gaps were huge. How quickly does rank increase in this game, because the last time I died was to a random enemy halfway through stage 3. :\
I beat stage 5 Yuka one death no bombs. DAMN that last phase, was ZUN seriously expecting you to squeeze into those gaps?
I was about two dodges away from capturing Yuka's final phase.
Yeah.

Blurgh. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6505) EoSD Lunatic run with 4 lives remaining. I entered stage 6 with seven lives and then died twice in succession with full bombs in stock. I will never fucking forgive myself for that.
I captured the books, Emerald Megalith, and Eternal Meek though, which is nice. And I also got walled by The World while using the misdirection trick. Because apparently that's possible.
-
Hey, you're back =)
Well school is finished, so now I feel like playing again.
But we just moved out, so often I don't have the time.
All I've really done for 3 months is IN Hard, UFO Normal and clear some last spells/Words in IN.

I'm impressed, and IN is not as hard as I thought, I guess...

And then I got to Prism Concerto >>
But still I got all her noncards <333
Edit:
OMGOMGOMG CAPTURED DELUSION OF ENLIGHTENMENT WHAT
and I found out a way to easily do Karmic Punishment (not the safespot) but it involves never being under Youmu herself so it always turns out as timeouts :v
Edit2: omigosh did I capture Lost Soul's Village too D:
-
IN Extra down, but I still have no clue how to beat Fujiyama Volcano and Hourai doll without bomb spamming. :V
-
Hourai Doll is just circular/clockwise streaming while dodging the yellow waves. I suggest watching replays :V
-
Concealed the Conclusion- Normal 1cc with a nigh-perfect Reimu fight (just 1 bomb on the last card).
On my first try. Blind.

One week ago I was playing in normal
4 days ago in hard
And now that (http://www.mediafire.com/?tzmymd5wwnd) on lunatic
Well, Patchy suffer from the overpowered syndrome...
Was playing with UNL Reisen before, just testing Patchy skills on lunatic and it works !
-
Not particularly impressive, but I cleared SA Stage 4 Hard within about 15-20 minutes of reaching it. This was also my first playing session on the stage since Thanksgiving. And also done after pulling an all-nighter for my last final (that I stupidly haven't slept off yet). I feel like I've slightly lost my touch for the game ever since picking up MoF, but at least I know smart bomb usage can help me out in certain places. I'll definitely be getting to work on this game over break. I want that Hard 1cc.

To be fair, my strategy of blowing borders certainly helped that along, not to mention I purposefully didn't go to the PoC at all in the first half because it allowed me to get a small enough amount of cherry points to get a border on Ran. My high score is actually...
/me checks
711 million points.
>:D

lol, I tried phantasm for fun now too
4 deaths, 4 bombs

Still better highscore than mine, 'nut. Mine was....699m or something.
Why don't you just perfect it? You should be better than Sapz :V

Are you doing UFO just with the 3 bombs you get or do you spam green UFOs? Because it's hilariously easy to no death with greens :V
-
Why am I making so much more progress in SA than MoF? I've already landed a perfect stage portion of SA Stage 4 Hard after no more than an hour of practice.
The way I train, I tend to restart early when I die once or twice so I can try the section again and get used to it. Thus, I only got to Satori twice during my last session. And I captured "Double Black Death Butterfly" both times. WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN -
-
Because SA is more or less a really long EX stage. MoF is less so, but the bombs given more than make up for it. Solution is bomb more.
2CC of PCB Lunatic, coming ridiculously close to a 3CC on 80%, until I randomly got an extra life. That's already loads better than yesterday, when I died on Lily.
-

I collect green UFOs, but the fact that Kogasa keeps killing me and frustrating me means I blow two bombs on her and then two on blue UFOs because god dammit and then something always happens and that's why I hate no death extra runs. -_-

If you are going to bomb Kogasa, bomb Typhoon and the other 2 should be way too easy for your skill level.

I did use some (read: a bunch of) bombs the last time I tried to go through MoF Stage 4. And I still humiliated myself unlike anything I'd ever done before in Touhou.
I think one reason I'm doing so much better in SA is because of its bullet designs. From what I've seen, SA focuses more on memorization and precise movements, which is more my style. MoF just has a lot more luck-based elements in some of its danmaku (i.e. any pellets or really small bullets the great fairies fire out in a circle, and precisely when some enemies shoot, if at all). Not all of it, of course, but enough to really throw me off my game at any time.

Rain drops clipdeaths me way too often. The major problem with extra stages is the LENGTH. Screw up once and the last ten minutes have been a waste.

Did a test run, this was the very first attempt.
Yeah, it isn't a no death, the green UFO was a dumb mistake and I couldn't care less about Grudge Bow as you can obviously 1 bomb it without any dangers. Had 6 bombs so I could have just bombed both and still bomb left and right for the lulz and end up without deaths.
Not to mention that I've screwed up a chain, so I would have 8 bombs on an ideal run, as I've screwed up the final streaming, meaning that you can bomb almost everything and still win easily.
Shows how MarisA rapes Red, Blue and Rainbow UFO.
If you're wondering how I death bomb so consistently, know that I've been playing for almost two years. If there's one thing I'm proud of, it's my death bomb reflex. ^_^
There, now you have no excuses to not no miss it.

UFO Normal 1cc with FOUR more lives than last time (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6524) :V
REALLY stupid death at Kogasa's stage while trying to grab a red UFO >_>
The beginning of Stage 5 is um ... lol.
And I still did horribly at Star Maelstrom and Flying Fantastica >_>
-
Finally got around to clearing Mystical Chain on Normal. Would have been a 1cc, but Alice died off the cliff on the secret boss's first phase, and Patchy couldn't handle everything on her own.
Oh, and Silent Selene is pure win in that game.

UNL Arcade Mode Lunatic no missed round.
Perfected last round against Suika (Royal Flared)

SA Stage 4 Hard, perfect up to BoWaP. This stage is starting to become real doable now - I wouldn't call myself consistent yet, but I honestly think I can become so if I keep playing it. BoWaP is gonna need some more work though.

Managed to capture Gengetu's first timeout phase in an actual run.

BoWaP is static and easy after some practice anyway. Safespotting isn't even worth it unless you're trying to milk it for graze.
-
Just scored my first BoWaP capture last run.
I think I've heard something about a safespot before, though I don't know where it is. The way I go about the card, there is a spot at the bottom just left of center that I use to get past some of the denser waves, but I can never really stay there for long.
-
The safespot is right in front of Satori, because there's a gap between Satori and where the bullets are spawned. But you have to use a bomb to position yourself in it unless you're REALLY quick.

ALL EXTRA CLEARED YAY.
I was really pleased with this run. I did perfect on EES until the 3rd part of the Bouncy Ball phase where he/she/it/Rika moves around everywhere and the balls with giant freaking hitboxes bigger then the sprite clipped me.
I died only once in the rest of the battle though, and I also had an awesome luckgarbage dodge after forgetting to misdirect those explosions in the phase after bouncy balls. Apparently, the explosions have small hitboxes, thats weird for SoEW :V
-
How do you even score in Extra? I can't get anywhere near the 8,000,000 extend.
-
How do you even score in Extra? I can't get anywhere near the 8,000,000 extend.
Most of the score will come from that part with all the purple batty things flying down with tons of point items falling as you kill them.
Now, you can get lots of items by move between the left and right sides of the screen with an arcing movement(BE NEAR THE TOP, so they are worth more points) to misdirect bullets and catch items. Do not hesitate to bomb. In fact, it can be profitable to be at 0 lives right as you reach this part so that you will have 3 bombs to use here, which means you should be able to get up to 4~5 extra lives. Or, if your really good at this part, you could be at 0 lives so you have 3 bombs, and then get 3~5 extends here, and suddenly you have lots of lives and more bombs then your supposed to.

I think I just figured out the secret to Ephermerality 137 at long last.
While playing stage 3 randomly:
Me: So, Ephermerality 137 always screws me over because of those bottommost familiars exploding late, right? But I can't keep up with them because I have to shoot Keine focused.
...
Who's to say I can't just shoot unfocused the whole time, take out the familiars and let my homing damage Keine?
Suddenly I capture it and I perfect Keine...or I would, had my overconfidence not made me slam into a random bullet on her opener. >_< It's still not easy since I'm not good at unfocused dodging, but to finally have a plan is good.

You just figured that out??
-
Just pulled off a random 3 death no focus run of Phantasm. Not exactly great, but considering 1. I was using ReimuA, 2. I died with 5 bombs in stock on BoHaY and 3 bombs in stock on BoLaD, and 3. it was half three in the morning when I did it, I think I might be able to manage no focus no deaths. I'll mess around with it some more tomorrow.
By the way, Donut, this is your next step.

I wish I could consistently beat that card without bombing(or effort), but no matter how much I spell practice it, I still can't do it. Way too easy on Normal and Hard, but WTF on Lunatic for me.

PoFV Extra no deaths?
It's doable, I think, with Cirno and a lot of luck (massive freeze combo chaining). Will attempt it as soon as I'm finished with Shikieiki lunatic NFNV (the first time I wasn't bounced upwards EVERY SINGLE TIME on stages 7 and 8, I got to Reimu with a life to spare despite dying twice in stage 6 which is something that should not happen).

AAAARGGHH one death during the stage portion. Why didn't I restart?!
I also totally got hit during Yukari's Spiriting Away and it didn't count because a border wore off at the exact same time.
-
Does that include PoFV Extra no deaths?
Cause that would be pretty hard too.
You'd probably want to try to get a low score when doing that, because the more lives you have, the longer the timer will be. Any extra time having to fight Shikieiki is NOT WELCOME KTHNX
-
I don't think you can avoid a 2 minute Shikieiki or Reimu fight in a no death attempt. It's 50 seconds first time without lives and 2 minutes otherwise. And there's no way you're avoiding the 5,000,000 extend.
Edit: Could be wrong and it's 2 spare lives, but that isn't likely to be avoided either.
Edit:
Ya, definitely go with Cirno. Or Tewi if you don't mind being a little cheap, but make sure to stay above 2 just in case. With Tewi, I still only got to stage 6 before dying, but it happened after the timer ran out.
Edit, yet again: Any spare lives and it's a 2 minute Shikieiki/Reimu fight. Tried again and made it to Medicine with Tewi without dying then messed up with a few seconds on the timer, then I had 2 stupid deaths on Komachi, then 2 stupid deaths on Shikieiki since the first one couldn't exactly be called stupid since it'd be hard for anyone to survive 2 minutes. Ya, I didn't even clear it that time, even though I should have.
-
Gah hah! If only PoFV were always this nice, I wouldn't hate it so much. Normal 1cc with Yuka, the only person I ever feel like playing as.

Pacifist Flandre. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6548)
Wasn't very difficult. The hard part is avoiding the massive amount of clipdeath.
This was the most awkward run ever.
There were so many hilarious deaths you wouldn't believe, pretty much all of them with full bombs in stock.
Died on "Four of a Kind" because I ran straight into a bullet. If you watch the replay, you would think I was actively trying to commit suicide.
Died on "Counter Clock" in the most retarded fashion imaginable and I seriously died on QED's starting speed phase.
Dying at QED left me with only three bombs to get through the timeout phase. So it was kind of intense as I had to actually dodge it instead of just bomb spamming my way through it.
Speaking of QED's timeout phase, I found it surprisingly tame. Then again after LLS extra timeout phases, everything looks tame to me. :V
Oh, and I did some awesome unfocused bullet circling in the beginning of the stage. Let's see how fast this gets flagged as tool-assisted. :V
-
Speaking of actively trying to commit suicide, does being UNABLE to commit suicide, even when I WANT to (because, you know, good luck kicks in at the wrong time for me) count as an accomplishment?
-
Finally, more UFO progress -- perfect (but ugly) stage 1 on hard, but I make up for it by failing Parasol Star Memories at 1% (!), and then it goes downhill from there.
But hey, it's Hard, so I'm not complaining. Too much.
-
PoFV saved a story mode run, yay! Komachi lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6552), only a few remaining now. 2:57 in the third round, finished with one life to spare. Very proud of that one (zero luck involved, I either dodged as planned or ate a bullet pretty much 100% of the time), and further evidence that three minutes is the magic mark for the low-tier (vs. AI) characters.
-
HRtP Hard 1cc, Makai Route
HRtP is probably the easiest game to 1cc on Hard (took only 1 try). The only difference I've seen from Normal is that the bosses are slightly harder.
Something I'm quite proud of though, is that I perfected YuugenMagan, which I never did on Normal or even Easy.
-
I guess its only easier if you can somehow figure out how to play the game well. I also have a friend who managed to beat Sariel on Lunatic with continue spamming and all that but couldn't do the same thing to the easy version. What's up with that?
-
Managed to somehow 1cc Subterranian Animism with Reimu-A ... on Hard ... for the first time ... with live to spare after Subterranian Sun.
-
Then check this out KuroKonata.

PCB perfect stage 3 lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6560) at long last.
After perfecting EX Alice, I thought it would be silly if I couldn't perfect normal Alice.
Still not sure which one of them is more difficult. :V
Finally had a run where "Hanged Hourai Dolls" didn't completely shit in my face at the end. This thing has ruined so many perfect attempts it's not even funny.
Also figured out a consistent way to perfect the latter half of the stage. I haven't failed it ever since I started using these movements.
Edit:
now on youtube! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiKsiiRNa0E)
Still getting processed though.

You're just saying that because you actually game overed on her
Also, Alice has one difficult non-spell (and another if you don't kill it lolfast with Marisa A), while Ichirin only has one semi-difficult one. King Kraken Strike is hard, but the rest of her isn't that bad most of the time. The only catch to Consecutive Hooks is that you need to be patient.

The 2nd spellcard i can't really remember much about but King Kraken Strike is more than enough argument for Ichirin being harder than Alice. I can capture Alice's spellcards pretty well but i need serious luck to capture King Kraken Strike - i can't even do it consistently on Hard mode.

These seemed sort of strange to me, since I didn't recall PCB Alice being that hard. So, I went into stage practice for a little while, and after only a few attempts managed a perfect Alice battle (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6565). Would have been a perfect Stage run except for a derp death during the post-midboss spam... maybe I'll have a go at a proper stage perfect in a little while.
...So, er, I still don't really get what's supposed to be that hard about this battle. :V I'm gonna have to disagree, I find EX-Alice and Ichirin wayyyyy more difficult.
EDIT: Having said that, Benevolent Orleans Dolls is tough. :V
-
Just cleared SA Hard with ReimuA. Took about 2 hours to pass Stage 5 (I went out for dinner after 1-and-a-half), then another 2 hours or so for Stage 6. Turns out in this run, I managed my first captures of Nuclear Excursion and Hell's Tokamak, failing only Subterranean Sun IIRC (through "safety bombing", of course). I must say, the second sets of suns in Nuclear Excursion made it a lot harder than I thought it would be, but Hell's Tokamak was for some reason a lot easier to get used to (still not completely, but you get the idea).
Now I can practice all of Hard to my heart's content. Provided I don't get too caught up in other stuff, a Hard 1cc could be likely before mid-January (when winter break ends).

Cleared PCB lunatic mode :V
with 3 continues lol.
But I only ran it for practice and didn't expect to clear it at all, but due to my many practice runs on stage 5 and 6 I managed to complete those with minimal losses.
Then the score board appeared, cards captured: 2 >.< Bombs used: 49 :V
-
I unlocked UFO Stage 6 Lunatic for ReimuA, and now Nirvana's Cloudy Way in Purple, Magic Butterfly and Superhuman are no longer autobombs for me. Same goes for Kogasa's last non-card, King Kraken Strike and a load of other stuff. \o/
I still suck horribly at the stages, but I've a feeling I can fix that after some stage practice. Donut, remind me to listen to your advice more often. :V

Anytime~ Now if only more people would listen to me...
Also I think I finally understand my problem with Uncontainable Nuclear Reaction. I never paid attention to how close the sun bullets were, leading me to get trapped.
Now if only I could STOP SCREWING UP SIMPLE DIAGONAL DODGES *insert inaudible curses here*
-
I'm still honestly confused why stage 3 is so impossible. I even tried hard with Sanae B and:
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6571
Beat it no bombs one death. I might add that that death would not have happened if I were using Reimu A and had her slight damage increase. I'm really not trying to troll, I want to help everyone get past this bottleneck stage.
-
So I tried EoSD Lunatic mode for the first time ever. Default lives of course.
Made it to stage 4 before I lost my last life on my first try. Continue then game over on Illusional Misdirection. Continue again, game over on Scarlet Meister, barely clear Scarlet Gensokyo.
Notable captures were Forest Blaze and Young Demon Lord. Almost got the Dream Vine card as well but had to bomb.
But WTF at Demarcation, Killing Doll, most of Patchy's stuff, Vampire Illusion, Scarlet gensokyo, Scarlet Meister, some of Cirno's stuff, Sakuya's opener(though this is impossible for me on Hard as well), Remilia's opener. Remilia's 3rd card seems easier than it is on Hard, but I clipdeathed it.

Nit-pick nit-pick
I wouldn't have died because with Reimu A's superior firepower those fairies would have died and I wouldn't have been trapped in the first place. Really now, the point of a shotgun type is that they're supposed to do MORE damage when shotgunning, and I was pretty close to them.

Those fairies have static spawnpoints and can usually be killed before they can even fire. I can trivialize them with SanaeA at 2.00 power.

...Shotgun type? Uh... What? Sanae B doesn't really get any advantages for shotgunning unless she's literally on top of the enemy. It only really applies for during bombs. She's meant for spread with relatively decent power for her range, not for you to go up close and rip through the enemy without using up a bomb.
It may be a little tougher for her to deal with a lot of bosses, though not really by an insane amount, but she does absolutely amazing on stages, which is why people like her.
-
Well, with a few exceptions, I can guarantee that Reimu A is more than competent on the stages as well, and does better on bosses. Wide range is less useful than you'd think.

HELL YEAH I BEAT YUKARI~~
That leaves just Koishi and Flandre for Windows Extras to take down, and EoSD lags like woah for me, so... Koishi is all that remains more or less.

A 2 death UFO lunatic 1cc?! When did this happen? o_o I think at that point it's more a matter of your skill than what shot type you use.
I guess while I'm here, I think I figured out Byakuren's first spell card at long last, because I captured it in three consecutive runs. Still a clipdeath-fest, but at least I can handle it. I think I also am starting to theorize on more practical LFO routes...
And FFFFFFFFF PoFV lunatic. I just realized that the input lag is pretty bad in the game, which certainly does not help anything. Did anyone even bother with a vsynch patch for this game?
-

I don't get any...?
-

Yes. It should have come with the rest of the serie's vsync .dlls in the download.
Although, I don't have any input lag in this game at all.
-
Well, it's certainly present in my game. >_> I can tell because Shiki is flying around everywhere out of my control, and I can attribute many hits/deaths to it. I guess I'll be picking that vsynch package up again...
-

Input lag (or lack thereof) seems to differ from computer to computer and game to game. Like how I have noticeable input lag for SA and no-one else seems to. >.>

SIX!
PoFV Lunatic 1cc! FINALLY! Cirno is awesome, by the way. One death each on Reisen, Aya and Yuka (better than usual on Aya, who frequently kills me twice or more), got to Shikieiki with 83 million, got the 90m Extend on my last life, died and finally, finally, FINALLY took her down on ROUND FREAKIN' FIVE.
Oh, and PoFV had to crash when I tried to save the replay, of course. But HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
THE STRONGEST
EoSD will probably be next, then a ways off is IN, and then...the last four are going to take a WHILE. PoDD hates me, tHRtP is stupid, SA is hard, and UFO just sucks.
-
Question: How is Cirno a good choice at all? I'm just wonderin', if Cirno is somehow good I'd love to 1cc with her (for the NEXT time I go mentally ill and think it's a good idea to play PoFV).
I just captured Murasa's third non-spell again. Sadly this feat was immediately followed by me getting hit by the first anchor in her third spell card (who the hell gets hit by the initial anchor?)
-
Cirno
a) is fairly effective against the AI (it has issues with the icicles)
b) faces Yuka instead of Komachi - I've beaten Yuka without dying once multiple times; almost never do I get through Komachi without dying at least twice
c) her level 2 and higher freezes all bullets on the screen, Perfect Freeze style, a little after it goes off, and turns a bunch of them into cancellable bullets (spam this like crazy towards the later levels, especially on Shikieiki)
d) is the strongest!
I also am very comfortable with her speed and I like her scope; it's a little bit small, but it deploys instantly and rarely activates anything I don't want.
-
Cancellable...bullets? Explain. I do see the appeal of fighting Yuka instead of Komachi (for more than one reason), but I remember Cirno's speed being uncontrollably fast...
-
Cancellable...bullets? Explain. I do see the appeal of fighting Yuka instead of Komachi (for more than one reason), but I remember Cirno's speed being uncontrollably fast...
As in, the little popcorn bullets that get cancelled when you kill enemies/activated spirits? Around...I dunno, somewhere between a a quarter to a half (probably about a third) of all non-unique bullets (Shikieiki's hotdogs, Aya's thingies, etc.) turn into those when frozen.
Cirno is fast, yes, but I actually kind of prefer it that way. And I much prefer Aya and Yuka to Medicine and Komachi, and I think Cirno's the only one who faces both of them.
-
Well...at least she doesn't give the illusion that I have any control over my movements. :V I made it to Aya before biting the dust. The game over shot is the perfect example of what I'm talking about: I get hit, I start charging a level 2 shot, then one of Aya's zooming special attacks hits me before I could possibly have shot it off. Fuck this gaaaaaaame. =_= If I feel up to it I'll actually do one more run with Reimu or Shiki and upload it so you can see what I'm doing that is not to your liking.

...I have basically no problems controlling Cirno; I get hit when there are walls, not in simple dodging. And once again, Aya is pretty much entirely streaming, so learn to watch her spawns. Doesn't help when she streams you into a lolwall, but at least I usually don't get hit by her lightspeedmaku.

A 2 death UFO lunatic 1cc?! When did this happen? o_o I think at that point it's more a matter of your skill than what shot type you use.
Homing works wonders on the stages 80% of the time~ The replay in question happened 1 day before I left on vacation :V
And no, there wasn't that much "skill" involved (read: I thought I did pretty poorly). I could certainly link to more replays to demonstrate that "spread" is useful in UFO, but I think I'll pull a :effort: here. Yeah, I'm that lazy about it, clearly :V (http://www.thereisnothinghere.com)
I would probably point to my No Bombs 1cc attempt that I did about a month ago

Holy fuckdamnshit did I just reach Shou with 7 lives on UFO Hard
I even did that final wave before the boss without getting hit! I lub you Raymoo Bee~
Mmkay, if I lose I'm going to hurt myself SO HARD.
[EDIT]After Shou, 5 lives no bombs. I can totally 1cc off of this if I'm not stupid. But, being nervous doesn't help at all D:
-
Butterfly Delusion Lunatic NoFocus MarisaA capture
"Perfect Cherry Blossom of Sumizome -Bloom-" No Focus MarisaA capture
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6580
The rest of the replay was me dicking around, such as on Yuyuko's opener where I just wanted to see the bullets that she shoots out when you get too close to her, or me grazing her foruth card for no reason, and then dying because I forgot to move.
Jaimers: Congrats!
Also might try timing PCB of Sumizone out no focus later, but that seems like it'll be up to luck more then anything.
Edit: Wait. I think I uploaded the wrong replay. brbchecking
K, I uploaded the right one
-
5 lives should be enough. As long as you don't mess up and get killed a lot chaining UFOs the first time I made it to stage 6 like that. Thankfully did things right the next time.
And I really suck at PCB. 4cc of Hard. Doesn't help that I really don't care for playing this one much. Much prefer IN, MoF, and SA. EoSD is more enjoyable as well. And a few of the PC98 ones too.
-
...
Oh I don't even care about pretending to be angry. Good job Jaimers! Now hurry up and beat stage 6 no deaths. :yukkuri:

But we must also point out that you are BaitySM and therefore an outlier. You can beat UFO lunatic with Marisa B, that alone should exclude you from why everyone else is having problems.
/me ignores the fact that he too is an outlier
-
Cleared UFO Hard with 1 life left! I messed up St.Nikou's Air Scroll so bad you wouldn't believe (my memorized route went out the window), got nervous on her Butterfly, derped Magic Milky Way, did really bad on LFO despite often capping it with SanaeB in practice mode...
But, at least I capped her first 3 noncards, Devil's Recitation, and did some really nice dodges on the last phase of LFO after I ran out of bombs. Overall, this run has a LOT of insanely close dodges that I think with non-Reimu characters, would have killed me. And I'm one of those people who gets mad when people think Reimu's hitbox makes a difference :<
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6582
ALL HARD MODES 1CCED HELLS YEAH (Except HRtP, PoDD, and IaMP, but those don't count. D: I'm still trying to do them, at least.)
also lol timing out Nazrin's last spellcard since I can't do it on ReimuB and that is way easier
-
Didn't notice the Hard. It was UFO Normal for me. I can't even touch SA and UFO Hard. Haven't beaten stage 4 on either with continues.
-

SA Hard is very different from UFO Hard in that while UFO Hard has a decent deal of bullshit, SA doesn't have anything totally evil that it throws at you. Most of the risk is in clipdeaths. I realized this when, despite normally not getting to S5 Orin on SA Hard, suddenly I 1cc the game with 8 extra lives. Seriously, I was like ''wat"
-
PCB extra no deaths with Reimu A. ;) It's so hard to imagine 2 years ago today I couldn't even get past Charming Siege...
-
I HATE no-focus more than I hate no death, which I hate almost as much as perfecting.
PCB extra no deaths with Reimu A. ;)
~
-
:[ Ran and me have a little history...I'd be ashamed if I couldn't beat her no deaths. EXCEPTIONS SAPZ, EXCEPTIONS! D=
Besides, once I pull it off once, it stops being an issue. Once you do it once, you have the achievement forever. After the first time, no deaths just means you played it well, and if you don't, then who cares? I suppose doing them all (And there's NONE LEFT) was beneficial in that sense.
-
PoFV Komachi's Extra cleared. I should've had Shikieiki's as well - got to Reimu with two lives in stock and close to a third - but I played horribly all three rounds and hit her first bullet on round 3.
-
PCB Extra No-Deaths - No Bombs. One border broken as i tried to graze for score but failed.
Oh and Merry Christmas everyone!
-
You're all making me want to play PCB Extra again, but I'm stuck on my mom's computer and don't have Touhou :'(
-
Speaking of PCB, Stages 1, 2, 3, and 5 perfected with MarisaA on Easy.
Before you say anything, I consider this an accomplishment given the drastic design differences from later games. I'm not really fond of my hitbox being obscured by tons of bullets because the latter move on a layer closer to the front of the screen (hopefully I described that right), pretty much defeating the purpose of making your hitbox visible through focusing in the first place. Plus the 10-second timer sound is waaaaay too soft, and I can't raise or lower the SFX volume without turning it off completely. Everything else is fine, but what I mentioned above can screw me over like no other.
-
Further speaking of PCB, Extra clear for the first time! :D With ReimuA.
It was also my first capture of Shikigami「Chen」!
-
FINALLY. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6598)
Perfect PCB Stage 3 Lunatic with MarisaA. Holy christ I am so happy right now. Just in time for Christmas~
Jaimers' method of doing the last part of the stage is much easier and safer than mine, but I think mine is more fun~
-
Thanks for the inspiration Serafie. I didn't perfect stage 3 (messed up like usual on the post-midboss part), but I did perfect Alice! :D After my recording woes with Dodonpachi it feels nice to have this go right. With that, I've perfected every stage 3 boss on lunatic except for the FIVE MAGIC STONES, which I'm certain I could do if I took the time to put a savestate at that fight (and ignore the slowdown Next gives me).

UFO LUNATIC 1CC! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6601)
NEVER. AGAIN.
...I'm still shaking from that. I went into Byakuren 3/2, didn't do that well on her for the most part, and went into LFO at 0/1. With ReimuB, having never gotten to LFO with ReimuB before. I ended up deathbombing with the card still at around 60% health on the teal phase, and somehow managed to sightread everything else.
Well, that's certainly a kickass Christmas present... and that makes all 9 standard Lunatics 1cc'd. Finally, I can get back to the fun stuff~

Finally, I can get back to Dodonpachi~

-
EDIT: Snicker snicker snicker...your score is even worse than mine. ;)
Actually, that's pretty "normal" considering that ReimuB is slightly worse at scoring when compared to ReimuA :V
Does that make it the lowest scoring UFO Lunatic 1cc, then?:V
Nope, your score is still about double the amount of the lowest one. Which was a "handicapped" 0 Spell Card capture run using only green UFOs.
Nevertheless congratulations! It's not that bad, is it? :V
-
Congratulations! It's not that bad, is it? :V
Thanks! And for how bad it was... well, the difficulty started to feel much less ridiculous once I switched to the less well fed miko. With the Reimu shot types, I have a reasonable chance at dodging almost everything with the possible exceptions of Greatest Treasure and Radiant Treasure Gun, while with SanaeB it was more a case of pure resource management, which I'm not exactly excellent at. I hear a lot about how the hitboxes don't make that much of a difference, but seeing as my King Kraken Strike histories are 4/5 with ReimuB and 1/26 with SanaeB... :V
-

Varies from player to player. If you have a tendency to clip bullets often, and / or use Reimu too much ("Reimu-Hitbox Syndrome") then it's most likely that the hitbox difference will make a large difference. The other extremity is also true (that is, using a non-Reimu Shot Type regularly will most likely make the hitbox difference minor). MoF, SA and UFO would be the largest "factors" attributing to this. The other games, not so much.
For the record, I have a tendency to use multiple Shot Types per game, with the exception of MoF.
-
Ah, I could never stand anyone who has anything but the smallest hitbox except for PCB, where I feel for once the difference is negligible (it helps that Reimu is still sloooooow). In any game from IN on, using someone with a large hitbox makes me doubt my own abilities, leading to a severe decline in play. I may be no score runner, but I end up getting awfully close to bullets. :V It is my dream that one day ZUN will get the hint and go back to EoSD, where everyone had the same hitbox size and you could judge based on the shot type's actual merit.
Hopefully Sapz will warm up to the game, and we'll have one more person who likes UFO among our ranks. \o/
-
It is my dream that one day ZUN will get the hint and go back to EoSD, where everyone had the same hitbox size
Wait, seriously?
Back to MarisA for me. :V
-
Congrats Sapz, and yes, every day I thank the non-worshippers who don't donate to the Hakurei Shrine for keeping our little miko skinny as hell. There's a reason I play Reimu types almost exclusively for any sort of perfectionist play, and only use the others for the sake of being able to say "I 1cced with [insert character here]."
Well, that's certainly a kickass Christmas present... and that makes all 9 standard Lunatics 1cc'd.

Go for it. SoEW Lunatic isn't really a big deal so long as you don't stop streaming and stay the hell away from the bullets with the too-big hitboxes. MS is a fair bit tougher since it's really harsh with giving out lives, but since you've managed UFO, I imagine it won't be too difficult for you... UFO Lunatic is far harder than either, IMO.

I would like this too actually. I always found the hitbox difference to be pretty weird.
The best shottype is mostly Reimu anyway, making the other characters double suck.
I like UFO too, so I guess you can sign me up as well. /o/
-
Well, i'm positive i read something on the wiki about the Hakurei amulet. That one of its abilities was to prevent Reimu from growing fat even if she eats sweets. Maybe that's the cause for smaller hit-box. Marisa - and any other playable Touhoe probably just eat a lotta sweets and get larger hitboxes than Reimu as a result! Or something...
Anyway, i like how Reimu's hitbox is smaller because it makes clipping less likely. At Lunatic mode, and sometimes Hard as well, there is a lot of attacks that require you to squeeze through tiny gaps and getting hit just because you were a pixel too far to the right is not fun.
------------------
And, i've done it. Alice have been pretty popular on these boards as far as i can see so i decided to put in my own effort as well.
Perfect Alice Lunatic. XD
I had plenty of runs where everything was perfect but Alice was being a bitch and consistently killed me with one of her attacks. I even managed to have her final non-spell and her 2nd spellcard be the cause of that.
The biggest "fuck-you" she gave me though was a completely perfect battle as well as the stage being messed up by Hanged Hourai Doll. What a miserable end to such an awesome run.
In the end, i decided to screw the stage and just go for boss perfection. Even then, i had to try about 10-15 times before the girl finally stopped teasing me with near-perfect runs.
Good fight though.

SA extra is finally down, bwa ha ha!

It keeps her on the Border between Anorexia and Death :V As in, it keeps her as thin as it's naturally possible to get without dying. Of course no one else is as thin~ And it doesn't let her get any thinner because then it would have to use up its power to keep her alive. That and because we'd get stuck with Skeleton Reimu, which no one wants :P

I just reached Remilia on Hard mode without vpatch :P

Anywho, UFO Lunatic 1cc is now (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YptzmmB8cm8) on (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5KAYmozXbY) YouTube~ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0rSE6NbCWU)

It keeps her on the Border between Anorexia and Death :V As in, it keeps her as thin as it's naturally possible to get without dying. Of course no one else is as thin~ And it doesn't let her get any thinner because then it would have to use up its power to keep her alive. That and because we'd get stuck with Skeleton Reimu, which no one wants :P
Nobody would want a skeleton Reimu. That amulet sure is wonderous. Maybe if we could mass produce them. Then everyone could have smaller hitboxes and everyone could remain thin!

Suddenly i lost all my UFO data. Or part of it. A tas'ed UFO lunatic 1cc to unlock practice start remains but all my Hard mode and Extra mode progress is gone...
Well, whatever. I beat UFO Hard mode again. Finished with four lives. I have now rooted out the biggest nuisance with UFO. The danmaku is mostly fine but the UFO system is making the game feel worse than it is. I think i had three instances where a red UFO changed color just as i was about to pick it up. The power system is also quite irritating but not as much as the UFO system. Now i can only count 7 attacks that i consider cheap. Sweet. Maybe i should go consult the help topic about those.

Agreed completely. This has been my mindset for the last couple of months. :V
-
Agreed completely. This has been my mindset for the last couple of months. :V
I only just realized it a week or so ago. I came to the conclusion that just because Lunatic isn't for everyone, doesn't mean the game sucks. Of course, being the part-time game reviewer i am i still analyzed it for all its flaws and yes - the only real problem with the game is the UFO system. (Doesn't save ZUN from getting beat with a bat though.)
-
The only real complaint I have is how while most of the hard parts are designed to make use of UFOs to clear them (blue spam in stage 3, wall spam in stage 4, etc.), that's a dumb reason to throw stuff like that so liberally.
-

Those are annoying, but another big complaint I have with the system is that the time it takes for a UFO to change colour is inconsistent. So many times I felt cheated out of a possible 1cc because a UFO randomly decided to kick back and wait an extra couple of seconds before changing, either getting me killed or messing up my entire chain (or more likely both).
-
Maybe I just haven't been paying attention, but I believe the UFO color changes are consistent, except that the timer will freeze if you're within a certain distance of it (the UFO will stop flashing when you're within this range). So, if you follow a UFO while you're waiting for it to change, it won't change because you're too close.
Also, I love that it says "NO MORE UFO" right under your Nue avatar.

Stage 3 blue orb spam is easier than you think (hint: micromem).
Stage 4 walls... I think you should be more specific about it. If it's the red orbs, it's pure dodging and by using a Forward Type, you're obviously going to have more trouble with it than with say... Homing.
Even then it isn't that bad. There's also a trick to "trivialize" the waves by a certain amount, but I obviously can't show you that, and I'm not sure which one of my replays would show this.
Stage 5 walls... same as above.

This is correct.
-
Stage 3 walls...micromemorizable? I-impossible. D:
Also, I think I just understood the logic behind the UFO changing thing. By having them not change when you got near, it's supposed to preserve the one you are trying to get, so it doesn't change the split-second before you grab it. Of course, as it turns out, we expect it to be a set interval so we end up hovering around it waiting for it to change and...yeah. :x
-
Are we talking about the blue orb spam at the beginning and after the purple walls after Midboss!Ichirin ?
Are they even possible ? ._.

Then prove it! :[ I have realized actually that in the first wave I survive more often on the left side, but I want hard data! HARD DATA! :shakefist:
-
Ah ha ha, that was a crazy run. I very randomly decided to do a full run of UFO lunatic for the first time since my infamous 1cc. I did rather badly, screwing up my UFO chains from the very beginning, making dumb mistakes like dying with full bombs against Kogasa immediately after dying...but then pulling holy shit crazy stuff like moving through the triangle walls in stage 3 and capturing King Kraken Strike and surviving the random spam after the streaming bit of stage 4. I game overed on Vajra, but considering this was a bad run and I still got that far, I'm considering it an accomplishment.

I've finally found a way to do Magic Butterfly consistently on Lunatic :V

Now I feel really stupid for not noticing this. I'd much rather it was the same timing all the time, but if that's how it works then that's fair enough, I suppose.Also, I love that it says "NO MORE UFO" right under your Nue avatar.
Nue's an exception because her only appearance in UFO Lunatic is to give you much-needed free stuff. :P >:(
Quiet, you, I want a day off. :V

What with all of the popularity of perfecting PCB Alice recently, I wanted in. However, since I already had a perfect run of Stage 3 from a while back, I felt I had to step it up a notch, so I've worked on this one on and off for the last few days.

Yes, that's how it works. Using it properly is how you keep the strategy for getting Red UFOs in Stage 1. If you don't, then you miss having 5 lives at the end of Stage 1.

You can have 5 lives at the end of stage 1? :V That means you're getting two more red UFOs than me. I suppose I see how it's possible, but isn't that a little too risky?

Well, I know how to do that, but I favor going for a green UFO at the end of the stage so I can end with 2 Red UFOs. I find it to be more effective, making up for the loss of half a life with 1.33 bombs and better UFO chaining for stage 2.

I just dodged a full wave of Catwalk. That's enough of an accomplishment in of itself (and the first time I've done so in a long time), but the reason it's worth posting is because I did it with the self-given handicap of playing while wearing gloves.
Speaking of which Sapz, go perfect EoSD extra while wearing gloves! >:D Either that, or do the "focus dancing" challenge. You need SOMETHING to do, right? ;)

This is the most inconsistent replay I have ever uploaded. Watch me utterly fail all of SA stage 5 (on purpose in the first half mind you, since I was just screwing around), game over on Orin's second non-spell, but capture Catwalk and the post-midboss section.
-
Hahaha, you guys haven't figured it out. Alrighty, I'll upload something.
EDIT: I'm half-lying, I do mean getting five lives. I also mean having two red UFOs at the end of Stage 1.
I do mess up on Stage 2, so follow this crappy write-up while watching it. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6624)
-You start with three lives and no UFOs.
-Before midboss Nazrin you have two UFOs, and two life pieces. The last fairy before Nazrin isn't killed immediately.
-At Busy Rod, when the UFO comes towards me you hover over it for a bit to prevent it from flying away, and from changing colors. When it comes back to you, summon the UFO and beat Nazrin.
-With proper timing, the UFO will fill up and explode at about the same point as a red multi UFO appears. You can grab both right away.
-You grab the last red UFO one or two fairies after the last UFO in the stage pops up. The UFO summoned will drop a red multi, and the last one will turn red at about the same time.
-Beat Nazrin, and you end Stage 1 with 5 lives and two red UFOs.
-Hover over the first multi in Stage 2 until the yin-yangs on the side appear. Kill the yin-yangs, grab red UFO. What I didn't do here was blow up the UFO when the fairies start shooting. If you do that, then you can grab both red multis easily.
-Next wave is different for other characters, but I just try to maximize the items I get for the next wave. The way I do this lets me grab items and have the UFO turn red as it gets to me.
-I mess up the next part. Summon the UFO, but kill the middle fairy before the UFO explodes, so the red multi flies toward you, and you get both stars. At midboss Kogasa, you should have six lives and two red UFOs.
-Get the next UFO, don't die stupidly like I did. You should have a life and a piece ahead of me by now.
-Pseudo-stream the purple shots and bomb at the center-left of the screen; the UFO should explode and the two red multis should fly right towards you. Oops, I didn't follow my own instruction, so I die again, and swipe a green UFO by accident as well. Instead, obviously get the reds and attempt to fill and blow it up before Kogasa appears.
-Beat Kogasa. If you do everything right, you should have 8 lives and no more UFOs.
-
Making very small dents here and there for 1cc'ing IN Lunatic. Got up to Tewi, had a pretty good Marisa fight (managed to capture double-spark). Still need to get a better Mystia (I hate her non-cards) and Keine (I get overwhelmed easily). Probably could have gotten considerably further (getting the 800 point and Tewi extends) had I not RUN INTO A FUCKING BULLET in early stage 5, forcing me to deathbomb (went into stage 5 with 0/3).
EDIT:
-At Busy Rod, when the UFO comes towards me you hover over it for a bit to prevent it from flying away, and from changing colors. When it comes back to you, summon the UFO and beat Nazrin.
I didn't know that staying near the UFOs also delays the time in which they leave the field. I thought it only delayed the color change. o_O

Ye gods, I hate Aya so much it's not even funny.
MoF Normal 1cc with ReimuC. 5 deaths. One on Aya's first card...there is absolutely no reason for a spell card like that on Normal. 1 on Sanae's Moses's Miracle by derping into the wall, one on Rice Porridge (which is easier on Lunatic than Normal/Hard), and two on the knife card because I never learned how to do it on Normal.
So yeah, I hate Aya, and ReimuC is godawful.
-
I once reached Sanae with Reimu C on lunatic. :V I don't know how.
Anyway, I just attempted to score on EoSD extra to be different. So hear me: 194 million is what happens when I actually try to reach the point of collection as much as possible. Take that however it is supposed to be taken (I think the WR is something like 600 million so ;>_>).

And no, that wasn't one-upping the previous poster. The previous post being an SA Extra clear is purely coincidental. I've wanted this for a long time, but haven't touched it much since I had a one-death run that failed on Subterranean Rose around 9 or 10 months ago. Been working on this one on and off for the last week or two, and finally got it.

It does. Try doing the same thing without moving near the UFO; it'll fly into the horizon instead of bouncing back to you.

I was so pissed at Jaimers showing me up I figured out a way of surviving the beginning part of UFO stage 6 more consistently (and if I pull it off giving me an extra bomb) and learning a new way of handling LFO combining all my past knowledge that allowed me to capture it, making me rage at the fact that I died on Superhuman with a bomb in stock.
LET'S DO THIS.

MotK'ers consider no-bombs lunatic HRtP
It is certainly doable, and I'm willing to put some effort into it, but I'm already raging preemptively at the thought of having to deal with Jigoku stages 15 (Kikuri) and 16 (mostly open with lots of tiles near the floor) back-to-back. Any Jigoku run that makes it to stage 17 has it in the bag, though.

The hard part was accepting I would have to do a run like this to beat it. The run is so putrid to watch, I barely try anything I don't already have a 100% capture rate on.
-
OK, so after failing pretty badly vs. Mima and in stages 11-14, forcing me to continue a bunch of times, I stormed through stages 15-20 like they weren't there. Stage 16 isn't the trouble spot, stage 18 is - but one spare life there is all you need, since stage 19 brings you back to full lives with minimal effort. Oh, and 1-death Kikuri, who is easier than Mima if you ask me. Should've been no-death but meh.
Y'know, if I don't get a no-bomb run before going to bed I'll get really mad.

Not so invincible with Aya. :> IIRC (replay crashed) I beat that no deaths too.
And looking at Ebarret, I decided to go for a no bombs run of HRtP lunatic as well.
...That was fun! 7cc, most of those continues being on 3 certain stages. More people need to realize how fun this game is. I also did a WTF moment, when I started infinite chaining Konngara. I got her down to 4 hits left before she used a move that forces you out of the corner and causing me to die.
-
PoFV Lunatic 1cc with Marisa (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6644). Finally, a Shiki battle where the winning round didn't end in less than two minutes. To be honest, I probably owe this 1cc to Aya, who through some crazy hax dodging ended up killing me twice (the first round lasted for over three minutes), and ended up with me gaining over 40 million points during Stage 7. Hit the 90 million extend during the third round of the Shiki battle, but ended up not needing it since she died soon after that. The highlight of the run is probably more the first round of Aya than the Shiki fight overall, though... so intense.
...This game is really, really fun. I must play it some more. :V
-
Timed out Uncontainable Nuclear Reaction and Peta Flare....in one run without trying to time them out at first, simply because they took way too long so I decided to time them out.
Tried Tokamak again on the same run and failed it at 15 seconds :-\
That 1st run Tokamak timeout was probably just a fluke or something.
-
And looking at Ebarret, I decided to go for a no bombs run of HRtP lunatic as well.
HOLY YOUKAI JESUS IT'S A RACE AND I NEED SOME SLEEP.
eeh even if I get it first you'll probably get it on youtube faster; I'd need at least four hours to do so (lol ancient computer) and even if I get the no-bombs run in the next attempt I can't afford that much time to encode/upload in another 24 hours or so.
still - it's easy if you don't screw up early; get past Mima with some lives to spare and you can just play it safe until stage 19 where you should NOT MESS UP UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES like I did.
-
my HRtP normal clear was a 61cc
good luck :V
-
Ah? No no no, I'm not serious about it. As I've made clear, I hate being serious about something, because that means I can't not try and do the achievement until I do it. I wasn't even recording when I did that 7cc.
-
Played HRtP seriously for the first time. Actually got to Sariel with 2 lives and 2 bombs without continuing!
Of course, I instantly died twice to her laser spam opening. Which I have never died to before.
Well, maybe an Easy 1cc will be coming soon :<
-
Then prove it!
Fine.
First blue orb waves, start from the right. Kill them progressively (that is, moving left as appropriate), then back right when you hit the other side. You should be taking out each orb as soon as it spawns with ReimuA. As soon as you hit the center of the screen (again), choose a corner.
Second blue orb waves, Unfocus, focus for a moment and unfocus each enemy that appears, in a right-left-right-left "swinging" motion. Once you destroy the orb that drops the UFO, choose a corner.
-
I'm sure it's a mix of vague instructions and my incompetence of following them, but that doesn't work. :[ What exactly do you mean by "choose a corner?"
-
What exactly do you mean by "choose a corner?"
Exactly what I mean by it. Choose a corner. No, you don't sit in the corner, you try to "micrododge" / stream the remaining orbs and their bullets. Remember to keep shooting. Hopefully, that clarified things a bit :V
-
Managed to capture Patchy's Lava Cromlech and Emerald Megalith on Lunatic in two different practice runs. That leaves Agni Radiance and Sylphae Horn High Level from her Lunatic MarisA fight uncaptured for me. Sylphae Horn being one I haven't captured on any difficulty.

How about if I add that the large blue bullets that are fired upon death are aimed?

How about if I add that the large blue bullets that are fired upon death are aimed?
Aw c'mon, give me some credit. I've known that for ages. In fact, it's precisely because of that that I cannot fathom how sitting in a corner could help. I may be able to dodge the big blue bullets, but they give virtually no room to dodge the smaller bullets, and even if they weren't there those bullets are very hard to read.

Try a "streaming" approach after "choosing a corner" then. Or, wait ~2 days for when I return :V
Regarding the italicized part, this normally means that you're destroying the enemies too late. Micro Memorize the (general) spawn points.

You still haven't convinced me that the bullets fired by the enemies are the same every time BTW, which is what I've been trying to confirm. What I try that sometimes works doesn't other times.

Micromem != Static.
I'm using the term "micromem" in the sense that you perform similar movements, not exact.

Well then, I've learned absolutely nothing. >_> I got the impression that you said the random bullets weren't as random as I thought, but apparently that's not the case.

Hmm, I tried Baity's method and I can guarantee that it works! \o/

Inb4subsequentperfect Yeah no, I'd rather not.

Pssh. It's tons of fun! Just treat it as a survival mode rather than something you're actually supposed to win and it suddenly becomes extremely addictive. Way more fun than Story/Extra modes, plus it's very good practice. :V

Lunatic Hourai Jewel capture (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6659)
That leaves only Hourai Elixir Lunatic and Kaguya's last spells on Lunatic(because I haven't 1cc'd yet) uncaptured. Okay, technically, I've captured 3 of the 5 last spells on a different score.dat, but I'm not counting it unless they're done on mine.

Just tried SA Extra for the first time in ages. Following several obligatory restarts after clipdeath-ing the first great-fairy sequence (criss-crossing rings), and finally managing a 1-death/1-bomb run of Sanae's third card, I get to Koishi for the second time ever. And I manage to get all the way to "Super-ego" before gameovering (the first time, I gameovered on her first nonspell).
Granted, I've seen the Koishi fight many times on Youtube, but does knowing how her attacks work really make it that easy? I perfected her second criss-crossing rings attack on my first try, for crying out loud. And the spells I did die on could certainly be circumvented with a bit more practice.
-
That's SA for you. SA is probably the most reliant on memorization out of all the games; knowing what's coming next does wonders for your playstyle.
-
I won a match against Lunatic Match Mode AI. :V Granted, I fought Yuka, so probably the easiest one to win against, but still. Hopefully the first of many? I don't think that Aya win is going to come for a long, long time, though.
-
1CCed SA today. Finally managed not to get raped to death by subterranean sun, instead only had to bomb once.
-
HRtP lunatic Makai route no bombs 12cc. :V The accomplishment part is when I defeated Sariel one death no bombs. Granted, it's because I got REALLY lucky with her phase changes, but still, holy shit.
-
After my relatively successful SA Extra run today, and after growing frustrated with PCB's level designs, I sat down in a couple of sessions to practice PCB Extra. The main stage is becoming much easier the more I play it, though I wouldn't call myself consistent yet. I've also resorted to bombing Chen's second card until I can figure out precisely how it works. But that's not the good part here.
Several runs before my last, I got to Ran for the first time, but gameovered on her first card. Then the next time I reach Ran, I get to her fifth. Her fifth, on my second try ever. And by the way, unlike with Koishi, I had only seen the Ran fight on Youtube 2 or 3 times at most, and long ago enough that I would be quite unprepared for whatever Ran throws at me, spellcard or not. All of a sudden, PCB Extra seems doable, as long as I can manage appropriate bombing. Thank God it's actually fun to play, unlike the rest of the game, so I can bear practicing it.
-
I just perfected Yuugen Magan. My favorite part about HRtP is that when you actually pull off a good run, it looks REALLY cool. Video incoming.

Just 1CCed MS. managed to no-bomb, no death shinki's second to last phase, but the phase before it cost me like 3 bombs and a life. (GODDAMNIT CHEETOS)
finished with a life and 2 bombs.

I just had a EoSD lunatic 2cc where, on the one hand, I...
-died twice on stage 2
-died twice to Patchouli's opener
-entered stage 5 0/0
...while on the other hand, I...
-captured Eternal Meek for the first time
-captured Remilia's first seven attacks except for her opener
-almost captured Scarlet Meister.
Seriously, the clock was at 9 seconds left when I died. Maybe I should try playing EoSD with someone else then ReimuA sometimes. :V

Beat IN Easy with Magic Team. Why do people call them bad? :<
-
Go try Lunatic now.
When you need to kill enemies quickly before they fill the screen with bullets, they are the worst for it. Tier list for Lunatic
Netherworld Team
Border Team
Youmu Solo
Scarlet Team
Magic Team
Anything else isn't worth playing.
Haven't gotten close on Lunatic Scarlet Meister and my capture of the Hard version was the first time I ever went against it probably due to low rank due to continue spamming.
-
Beat IN Easy with Magic Team. Why do people call them bad? :<
No range, and unless you abuse the Malice Cannon they don't have great power either. You do even less damage when focusing, Alice's bombs are PATHETIC, and their support abilities do nothing in terms of survival.
-
Had a pretty good fight against Murasa Lunatic. Captured both her survival card and Sinkable Vortex. I think i have finally figured out to prevent it from coming from your side.
If just i could find a way to get better at Ghost Ships. When its just me getting by animated bullets its not too annoying. Its more when i get hit by the debris - i can't see that stuff when concentrating about not being caved by the animated bullets. Hmph.
PS: I have also gotten hit by an anchor on its way back. That
That's SA for you. SA is probably the most reliant on memorization out of all the games; knowing what's coming next does wonders for your playstyle.
Maybe for Extra but not story mode. That's gotta be UFO.
-
There's also that Reimu is the harder boss on Lunatic. On Easy and Normal, Reimu and Marisa are either about the same in difficulty or Marisa is harder.
-
Maybe for Extra but not story mode. That's gotta be UFO.
UFO memorization is mostly planning out a UFO chain and keeping it up. The bullets themselves are mostly randomized, so survival is much more bomb- skill-based. SA requires you to memorize patterns, safespots, and when you can and can't get to the PoC (although with the Communication System, you really shouldn't need to go to the PoC post Stage 2).

Holy crap, I've got to learn how to end Kikuri's first phase that quickly. I always end up being pushed into the corners, which are pretty much instant death against most of the bosses.

I just perfected PCB Extra's stage portion (Chen included). Ran was another story (only got to her fifth card again), but damn that was a good run.
-
Holy crap, I've got to learn how to end Kikuri's first phase that quickly. I always end up being pushed into the corners, which are pretty much instant death against most of the bosses.
It's pretty much "hit Kikuri as soon as it starts or die horribly". If you get the first hit, even if you don't chain one or two other hits immediately, the ying-yang keeps bouncing high for a while; if you don't get a hit upon starting, the ying-yang starts to bounce too low rather quickly and forces you away from the center before you can do any damage.

PCB Stage 4 Easy perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6679)
This should not be Easy Mode. I know this is the wrong thread to complain, but I really don't like how PCB's lower difficulties are so badly designed. Way too many bullets, plus Stage 4 is way too long and repetitive for its own good.
As for my performance, my efforts at memorization finally paid off, but it's amazing how lucky I still had to get in two spots. You'll see where in the replay (and only the second could be considered remotely my fault, due to old habits). Now I never have to play this level again (on Easy, at least).

This picture is proof of the amount of work I just did. I have recorded myself perfecting both Elis and Sariel, and all but two continues on Sariel's five levels were on the bosses. Regrettably, the runs that were successful aren't that interesting to watch, because they involved me combowhoring the two without them using any of their nasty attacks. :< Not only that, but obviously they were on the lowest rank, and I seriously doubt I could have pulled that fancy combo on Sariel's second phase if the bullets were moving faster. Still, might as well compliment the Yuugen Magan run...
EDIT: Wow, these processed hella quick.
Elis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcF4quCY04o
Sariel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7AJi-qnzRk
EDIT 2: Oh yeah, something I learned during my attempts: Sariel's second attack in her first part where she spawns an impossibly thin triplet of lanes and tries to force you to follow them, the way to dodge this no matter what is so absurdly easy I never noticed until now. You ofuda spam to get out of the lanes themselves, and if it moves in your direction/switches back to your direction, here's what you do:
You go to the corner...
And when the attack ends and the bullets stop shooting, when they get close to you...
Swing your gohei and you'll deflect all the bullets that would possibly hit you.
DERP.

HOLY SHIT I FREAKING DID IT
PACIFIST MUGETSU AND GENGETU
brb heartattack
EDIT:
Okay, now that that's done, all I would like to say is "thank God that's over".
This was quiet possible the hardest and most rage inducing thing I've ever done in my life.
The run is all about doing perfect timeouts of their normal attacks, so that you can get through the timeout phases using your resources.
There is almost no margin for error. I did all the above and still barely made it.
Highlights include getting to GRT 3/0, the highest amount of resources I've ever managed and surviving a full wave of Gengetu Spark timeout phase.
Video coming as soon as it's ready.
-
Congratulations Jaimers! :D I never dreamed anyone would be brave enough to actually go through with it.
Sniff...so I guess I can share Gengetsu with you. Take good care of her, y'hear? ;_; She likes it when you massage her wings.
-
Don't worry, I'll threat her well. :)
Anyway, the pacifist run is now on Youtube~ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC2K9hbP3e8)

Finally cleared IN normal for the first time! Used the Netherworld team, and bombed a lot, and I kept dying with bombs in stock so I thought I would fail...
But I did it :D

SA NORMAL 1CC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That completes all normal 1cc's of the windows games.
I kinda gave up a while ago, but gave it a spin today and ended up with 2 lives left :D
Almost captured heaven and hell melt down (if that's it's name, the 2nd to last card) but as usual it turned into a time out and got hit by something at the last 5ish seconds.
Now just the extra stage and I also have beat every extra stages of the windows games.
-
It was probably a bullet. Were you at super low power or something? That would be the only thing that can make that card a timeout. And if you are not doing so, you should dodge in the middle of the screen.
-
What, I was told to dodge at the left or right :S
But yeah, my power was 1.something, not really a chance for me to get max power for that card, I can't do that bossfight without a big bucket of bombs and a death.
And is SA extra considered really easy or something? Have 3/3 on sanaes 2nd card and nearly made it to koishi's 5th noncard on my first time reaching her. And the stage itself requires no tactic at all.
-
Meh, don't ask me. All windows extra bosses are pretty easy. :V
Flandre can be hard to get to perfectly but that's it. UFO has an annoying stage but i'd say the overall easiest is Suwako. But Koishi is around her level as well. Koishi's only two spells that are difficult are Roschark in Danmaku and ehmm... Philosophy of a Hated Person. Because i fail at the final phase. Genetics is infamous for whatever reason so you might want to be careful about that.
---------------
EoSD EASY CLEAR!!! HELL YEAH!!!
Danmaku for 5-year olds! Its hard to believe that something like that could ever pose a threat. Guess that's one of the awesome things of getting good at Touhou. :)

Silvergun was good.
And Dynamite Headdy and Gunstar Heroes were excellent.

-
I still have a few Normal or higher 1ccs to do since I want all extras unlocked for all shot types. But I've cleared all but 2 extras in the series, but as I said before I may have said before due to T98-Next slowdown I need to redo LLS and MS in Anex86.
To have Extra unlocked for all shot types, I still need to do
LLS: Reimu A, or was it B. I'd have to check. I think it was B though.
MS: Everything but Mima
PCB: Reimu A, Marisa B
SA: Marisa/Alice, Marisa/Nitori. I'm really not looking forward to doing a Marisa/Nitori 1cc.
UFO: Everything except Marisa A and Sanae A.
Edit: Oh, and I need a lot more scenes in Shoot the Bullet as well.
-
I think I've figured out the dastardly trick I need to take out Vajra consistently. I almost captured it, but I got too greedy and thought I could kill Syou before the laser caught up with me...again. This is at least the fifth time I've done that, and it NEVER WORKS (except that one time when it did, hurr).
-
So...on my latest IN 1cc Lunatic attempt, died on Life Spring Infinity...when my previous best was dying at Tewi. Went into stage 5 with 3/0, stage 6 with 2/3. Got the 800 point extend during Marisa for the first time, going to try getting that done from now on.
I really have no choice but to bomb at least once during Mystia's final non-card bullshit. Still having very slight problems with stage 3, some sloppy bombing during stage 4. Don't have the slightest clue how to do the very beginning of stage 6B.
-
Everyone has trouble with Mystia's second non-spell, don't worry.
Let me try and explain how to do the beginning of IN stage 6b: First, move so that your hitbox is over the "youkai" kanji in the human/youkai bar in the lower left. Once the fairies start firing, inch to the right. When the first fairy dies, move to the left and dodge the remaining bullets once the right one dies.
As for an accomplishment, I just did the above at 600 FPS somehow. :V
EDIT: Ooh, I guess that's one too. From the inevitable resulting run in that stage, I just beat Kaguya no deaths two bombs (well, four since they were both death bombs), bombing only to Buddhist Diamond and Hourai Jewel. I failed her last two spells though. Still, pretty sweet run of Kaguya.

Ho' shit, so this is what you were playing.
But you kind of missed out on Ran's defeat portrait, which is the one time you get to see her ears.
You should see Yuyuko and Letty. The former's new portrait fits her so accurately.
Anyway, tried to 1cc PoDD Hard. Went great, got to Yumemi with 2 lives (lost one on Chiyuri). Hadn't reached the second Extend because the battles have been going almost extremely easily, even my win against Chiyuri. I guess this is why I should keep playing as Yumemi instead of Reimu :V
Anyway, lost to Yumemi several times. I continued, and on the first life of the continue, I had a perfect Yumemi battle. No bombs. No hits. I only even used a boss summon once, the rest came from scoring. I lived through HER boss summon without getting hit a few times, and those attacks are complete luckgarbage for me. I mean, I know her lv2 and 3 are just streaming, but the boss is full-screen clusterfuck.
But why can't I even come close to beating her WITHOUT a continue? D:
-
Wow, it's been a while since I've done something that I can be happy for when there's still a death in the replay.
MoF Perfect Aya Battle. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6695) First time playing it with an actual perfectionist intent in a long, long time (it's been a while since I've played this solely in practice, and whenever I get here in a 1cc, the entire stage becomes a bomb-fest fail spiral and I don't get any real practice at it). And I actually felt like the Peerless capture wasn't just a random lucky capture, and that I was actually (gasp) reading it.
If I can just learn how to read Momizi...
-
I just perfected Evil Eye Sigma.
Those fast rings of bullets were absolutely nothing to me after LLS timeout phases.
Figured out you can survive the green blob spam at the end of the stage with max power ReimuC.
Screw no deaths. A perfect run won't be long now, I feel it in my water.

Eeh, don't mention it. Inspiration is about all I'm good for these days.

...
You are NOT going to inspire me to do this. You're not. YOU'RE NOT. The stage is just too painful.
The stage portion is actually really simple, I just perfected it a minute ago. The only beef I have with it is the green blob spam and maybe the sideways enemies near the end of the stage.
Am I weird for liking the stage? :V
Also something funny I found out. On EES second phase, if you are fast enough, you can plant the ring of mines on one of the walls and you can dodge the bullets without the mines obscuring them. \o/

I know the stage is simple outside of the green blob spam, but the green blob spam is horrible, and the fact that you get one bomb the whole stage...no thanks. More power to you though for being on your way to perfecting it though.

And I actually felt like the Peerless capture wasn't just a random lucky capture, and that I was actually (gasp) reading it.
Excellent. Now do it unfocused :V
You were saying? (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6707) Took 6 tries.
The shit I do to keep up with this community...

I AM FANTASTIC
before :parsee:
YOU GOT LUCKY ON SCARLET GENSOKYO
YES YOU DID
you had 89 seconds left meaning that she was right above you 90% of the time
also hitbox patch y/n
EDIT: GET BACK HERE, YOU DIDN'T REPLY
-
VoWG 1 death no bombs, last waves entirely unfocused !
-
SA Stage 3 Hard perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6709)
YYYYEEEESSSS.
I was really feeling it in this run. After ironing out a bunch of kinks, and applying some "fancy footwork" for Yuugi's last non-spell, I managed to get one more "legit" perfect before the year ends (in EST).
I also managed SA Stage 6 perfect up until Utsuho's fourth non-spell (a combination of a derp-death and failed experimentation), only dying in each of her last three attacks (once each). Maybe I should try a tiny bit of Lunatic? Challenging myself would improve my skills more, provided I don't rage too much.

Made Lunatic Shikieiki take a hit in match mode

PoFV lunatic 1cc with Mystia. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6713)
That makes nine characters done.
Should have saved Cirno for the ninth 1cc. :P
As usual, 90% of my deaths were on Shiki. Managed to do stage 8 without dying which is pretty nice.
Holy crap at Mystia's speed though.
Also I don't know what it is, but I've never had a replay crash on me, EVER.
I am using the English patch.
-

I hate you.
Mystia is actually pretty good, her higher scope is made better by her special ability. I've had lots of fun when I've tried her out.
-
I've never had a replay crash on me, EVER.
I've lost almost 20 lunatic 1cc replays, eleven Mystia replays alone, including a bunch of 130+ million points ones.
I hate you too. >:(
Holy crap at Mystia's speed though.
One of a few chars whose focused speed is faster than Yuka's unfocused. :V
edit:
10 characters done here, still missing Youmu, Lyrica, Tewi and Yuka. Lyrica shouldn't be hard, but Youmu and Tewi are just too weird to handle and I've lost count of how many times I failed vs. Shiki with Yuka.
-

Yes and I am very happy. Although regardless it's not like you can say it's only a legit capture if she flies all around the fucking screen and you have to break your way through walls. A cap's a cap. My history says so.
Besides, most card that are difficult to cap have a luck attribute to them and as such you could say luck factors into any good capture :>
also hitbox patch y/n
Haven't used it for months.
-
On a whim, I tried a no focus run of EoSD Hard. Finished 4/0. :dragonforce: Very annoyed about the needless bomb at the end of Meister, though... it would have been a perfect Stage 6 otherwise. :< Anywho, replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6714).
-
1D1B SoEW Extra (Stage portion) No Shooting.
Bomb used when all the green blobs were present; they all died.
Death at the floating eyes afterwards; too many to control. I then used the invulnerability time to kill them all i.e. by ramming them.
Well, that was pretty fun.
-
Beat the stage portion of SoEW extra no deaths. Turns out Reimu A's pretty good at taking out the green blobs. I even discovered that if you score good enough on the scoring part of the stage, you can get another bomb via extends if you bomb when a ton of blobs are on screen. She's not viable for beating Evil Eye no deaths though, since even at max power her shot is pretty weak. :( Still beat him so I can say I've beaten extra with all shot types.
Problem is, Reimu C suffers from the same problem that makes me dislike using Reimu in EoSD and PCB: She's so slow she can't outrun bullets, leading to many frustrating deaths. Oh well, this is a start...
EDIT: Also, requesting that you change your avatar to this.
@_@
But no. Not until I see some gameplay from that!
-
Haven't used it for months.
:parsee:
Every single good run I get ends up with 3 bombs on Scarlet Meister.
Also, got Shiki in match mode down to 1 half of an orb. Probably thanks to raymoo hax with balls.
-
On another whim, did a Final A 1cc of IN... Eirin is so much easier than Kaguya. Finished 2/1; I got the last extend halfway through Hourai Elixir, so that was useful. :V Here's the replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6715).
-
Syou's 2nd non-spell timeout 1 Death (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6717). Ignore everything else; I wasn't really paying attention from Mid-Boss!Nazrin onwards.
-
Apollo 13 cap, Astronomical Entombing cap. 2CC IN Lunatic ending with 3/0.
-
Complete Clarification timeout. It's really not that much harder than beating the attack in the first place.
-

I used to be able to capture this, but not anymore :( (and to think I'm now much better than I was back then ...)
On-topic :
- Moon Sign "Silent Selene"
- Sun Sign "Royal Flare" no safespotting (heck that thing doesn't work for me anymore :<)
- "Five Philosopher Stones"
- ATWTBN
All in the same run (!)
-
What safespot? Or are you talking about the thing where MarisA only has to dodge like one or two parts of the attack.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3E94EYSaYoE
MarisA can even finish the attack before the second wave :<
-

Heh, I never knew there was an actual safespot. The attack is probably even easier if you actually dodge though because the illusion of safety a safespot can give obviously screws you over if you messed up the positioning.
Anyway, LFO. On a whim I decided to see how well I could dodge the red phase (with bombs). One death including the timeout phase. Stuff's crazy fun. :V I also figured out another way to make the attack less painful if you bomb, so I'll be amazed if this attack ever chain kills me again.
Yay edit: Holy crap, Dipper Creeping Close is this easy if you don't screw up?
-
MarisA and MarisaC Normal 1ccs for Subterranean Animism. I can now play Extra with all of the shots in that game.
-
Scarlet Gensokyo 2 deaths no bombs.
VoWG 1 death no bomb, last part unfocused because it's easier this way, again :V
Aya vs. Lunatic CPU Reisen, 1-2. I'm satisfied :V
-
I just had my best two runs to date on PCB Extra. Perfected the stage portion each time, bringing my total up to four or five. On the first of said runs, I scored my first ever capture of Ran's fourth card, finally figured out a way to control her fifth (still haven't captured it, gotta work on execution), and gameovered on her sixth. In the second run, I played almost perfectly up until her fifth card, only dying once beforehand on her second because I still can't properly position myself for it. I fell apart spectacularly after that, but doing so well for so long (especially with the recent problems I've been having on her first card) really took me for a loop.
I moved on to SA right after that and proceeded to embarrass myself somewhat because I had somehow lost my ability to think while playing. Perhaps it's an accomplishment that I realized that at all? I tend to be pretty stubborn when grinding video games...

Hah! Perfect Aya fight. I knew I was capable of this.
-
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6723
There, about time. My second UFO lunatic 1cc. Despite the fact that I know a lot more, I actually did a little worse. ;_; I cleared with 2 lives instead of 3, didn't capture as many things, and really sucked on stage 2...
BUT I GOT FIVE MILLION POINTS LESS! :dragonforce:
Of course, now we all get to sit back and see if I pass the site's crack team's rigorous analysis this time.
-
BUT I GOT FIVE MILLION POINTS LESS! :dragonforce:
Hah! You'll never beat my awesome score!

:parsee:
Don't worry. That patch just fixed what was wrong with EoSD. Don't listen to naysayers who says otherwise. Its only fair to be able to see your hit-box no?
-

Not if Zun didn't want us seeing it. I've never played EoSD with a visible hitbox.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!
Well, I've beaten all of them on normal. That's all I got. Except EoSD, I beat that on hard once, with 0 c/l/b remaining.
-

Oh, that list is outdated. I'll have to update it next thread. :V
/me goes back to counting his accomplishments
EDIT: Also EoSD is all the better for not having a visible hitbox. The dodges that are required in that game would require an inordinate amount of praying if you saw how close the bullets come to your chewy center.

When his ego finally gets lost in the stratosphere, I'm holding you partially responsible.

I think if anyone can beat all of the mainstream games 1cc on Lunatic. You deserve an outrageous ego.
-

PoFV lunatic Lyrica 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6730) - only Youmu, Tewi and Yuka remaining.
-
Subterranean Animism Hard 3cc. Which is surprising since I suck at the game and barely play it. Also seemed to forget about Yukari's ability until stage 6.
First credit got to stage 5 midboss Orin, second one got to stage 6 midboss Orin, and the third one barely cleared. Not sure how I'll compare Hard Utsuho to Normal Utsuho yet.
I'm going to need lots of practice on Stage 3, 4, 5, and 6 though.
-
On a whim, I tryed to see how far I could get in IN lunatic with Sakuya solo, also known as LOL LETS TIME EVERYTHING OUT the maid.
The 1cc ended at Reimu because of AAAAAAAAH YING-YANG ORBS.
Still managed to beat it before 5.00 AM, so the game considers it a clear.

IN with Sakuya is fucking retarded. Not only is there the "LOL LETS TIME EVERYTHING OUT" factor, but that means Tewi won't drop a life
if you time her out when you time her out, and since Sakuya can't kill shit, she has a hard time opening holes to the PoC when beefier fairies are in the way. I had an attempt a while ago that at least made it to Kaguya (second noncard, I think), without either Tewi's or the 1100 extend. I haven't cared enough to give it more than a couple attempts, though. (It'd probably also help if I actually played IN once in a while. At this point, I've probably put more time into UFO Lunatic than IN Lunatic.)
And yeah, "AAAAAAAAH YIN-YANG ORBS" doesn't help either.
-
Meh, SA hard 1cc. Just to get it out of the way.
*sigh*
IN lunatic with Sakuya solo
You top players are starting to run out of reasonable challenges, aren't you.
-
Now I made it up to Blazing Wheel with one credit and almost 2cc'd. Unfortunately I messed up and died twice to the spell where you can go to a safe height and no vert.
Just need to practice up on stage 4 and Satori and/or Stage 5 and Orin.
-
I actually got the Tewi extend. :V
I think from massive bombing though. You don't gain much anyway if you use 3 or so bombs for 1 extra life.
It doesn't help either that Sakuya's focused speed is like exactly the same as her unfocused.
-
You do know that the stage 4 and 5 fairies don't have collision hitboxes, right? Not so useful on stage 4, but it could save some trouble on the first 4 on stage 5. Of course, the first stage 5 one is easy enough without that, and the others can be done but it's risky and I wouldn't recommend it unless you practiced it a lot.
As demonstrated in this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lUpkI0us50
-
Stage 5 is still not much of an issue.
Sakuya can kill the familiars on the fairies and completely neuter them.
The stage 4 fairies though...
-
1cc'ed both routes of HRtP Lunatic no-bombs. This game is so much easier to learn than the shooters. I mean, the game gives you like 15 extra lives for a no-bombs run, and 30 for a normal run, as long as you're decent at chaining the cards.
This means I 1cc'd a Lunatic before I reached 1 year of playing Touhou. It'll probably take another year for me to 1cc one of the shooters though.
I'm kinda out of challenges for this game (no way am I trying a no-deaths run) so I won't play it much unless someone tells me how to make anex86 lag less (there doesn't seem to be anything about frame rate). The lag makes the music incredibly annoying.
-
Don't worry, I'll keep it in acceptable boundaries whenever I post my list. :V
Na, Donut won't have an ego... especially since he has to share Gengetu with someone who has been playing for only a few months, where as he has been playing for a few years.

Well, to be fair, it's been nine months now since I started.
Almost a year in now. :V
-

Well, I could try to record it, but I would have to play without sound <_<
I'll try anyway, I'll see if the game doesn't look like crap at 1/3 frame skipping (thanks Jaimers)
Meanwhile, I don't know how you want me to prove this. Once you know the orb travels the exact same path everytime when you slide it's not very hard to plan a path to reach 25600 per card and gain lots of extra lives.
